Lot 106:
Two Ceramic Music Figurines
Description
This lot comprises two vintage ceramic figurines of differing styles. The first is a musical figurine manufactured by Maruho, Japan, portraying two young children, a boy and a girl, in a sentimental prayer pose. The figures are rendered in a matte bisque-style finish and are set upon a glazed rotating circular base. The base is embellished with pastel-coloured floral sprigs and the word LOVE in raised gold-coloured script. The underside features a plastic winding mechanism cover embossed with the maker mark MARUHO JAPAN.
The second item is a hand-painted glazed ceramic figurine depicting a courting couple in 18th-century Rococo style attire. The man is dressed in a russet-coloured frock coat and yellow waistcoat, while the woman wears a blue bodice and a tiered floral skirt. They are mounted on a circular pedestal base with a green-painted surface and gilt scrollwork decoration. There are no visible maker marks on this piece.
Condition report:
Both items are in good overall visible condition. The 18th-century style figurine exhibits some light surface dirt and minor staining to the reverse of the skirt and base edge, likely requiring gentle cleaning. No chips, cracks, or visible repairs were observed on either piece.
