Pair of Fawn Figurines

This lot consists of two fawn figurines, likely made from an unglazed ceramic or a similar composite material, given the matte finish and the 'not wood' and 'non glazed ceramic' context provided. Each figurine depicts a young deer in a recumbent or resting pose. The primary color is a light tan or beige, characteristic of a fawn's coat, adorned with numerous irregularly shaped white spots meticulously painted across the back and sides, simulating natural fawn markings. Their undersides are a lighter, almost off-white hue. The hooves are painted black, as are the noses. The eyes are particularly striking, rendered in black with a small white highlight, giving them a lifelike and soulful expression. The ears are erect and slightly cupped, showing an interior definition of a lighter color. Given the comparative size with the Sharpie markers, each figurine appears to be approximately 6-8 inches in length and 4-5 inches in height, suggesting they are sizable decorative pieces. There are no immediately visible manufacturer's marks or signatures, suggesting they might be mass-produced decorative items. The craftsmanship appears to be of a good standard for decorative figurines, with clear detailing in the facial features and a smooth overall finish to the body. Slight imperfections or variations in the hand-painted spots are possible, adding to their individual character. There are no obvious signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear visible in the images; however, a closer inspection for minor scuffs or paint loss would be necessary for a full condition assessment. The style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary decorative aesthetic, appealing to themes of nature and wildlife, often found in 'woodland' or 'cottagecore' decor.
