A charming pair of antique porcelain figurines depicting an 18th-century Rococo courtly gentleman and lady in elegant attire.
Based on the distinct incised mold/shape numbers and artisan markings on the bases, this pair likely originates from a Thuringian (German) or Austrian porcelain manufactory dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1880–1920).
Please note the gentleman figurine is missing his right hand/wrist, please check pictures. Otherwise, his glaze and colors remain bright.
The lady figurine is in good antique condition with no major chips or cracks. She features a factory-original circular vent/firing hole on the reverse side of her skirt, which allowed gases to safely escape during the kiln firing process.
Both pieces show minor bottom-wear on the unglazed base rims consistent with age.
