About the Item

This is a 1950s black-painted terracotta figurine depicting two Dutch children sitting together on a bench. The sculpture showcases a traditional European folk art style, with intricate details in the children's clothing, facial expressions, and posture. The sculpture features a boy and a girl dressed in traditional Dutch attire. The girl wears a bonnet and a dress with suspenders, while the boy wears a knitted cap, a buttoned-up shirt, and loose-fitting trousers. The figurine captures a sweet, nostalgic moment, possibly symbolizing childhood friendship or young love. The detailing in the clothing, facial expressions, and posture adds depth and charm to the piece. The black-painted finish gives it a vintage, slightly aged look, adding to its collectible appeal. The sculpture is in good condition overall.

19th Century Pair of Polish/German Stoneware Figures
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a lovely 19th century pair of Polish/German stoneware figures. Quite rare! Not a matching pair but similarly themed, with the little girl holding a basket of kittens with one kitten climbing up her front and the other of a little boy climbing a tree stump with a snail at the base. The ‘Little Girl’ is painted stoneware or earthenware and we are of the opinion is Polish in origin (or possibly Russian). It does not have any identifiable markings but it was originally with another similar style figurine (not included in this sale) which had markings that we were of the opinion were Polish markings. The ‘Little Boy’ is painted pottery and we are of the opinion that it is either Polish or German in origin. It is slightly different in style an texture to the girl and has a more ‘bisque’ finish. The facial features are more defined and remind me of German bisque dolls...
