SET 2 Antique GEBRUDER HEUBACH Porcelain Figurines BOY & GIRL W MILK JUGS c1900
Size:
Girl is 12\" high x 4\" wide at widest, Boy is 11 7/8\" high x 4\" wide at widest.
Beautiful fine porcelain figurines meticulously handmade circa approx. 1900
A graceful and elegant depiction of a girl and a boy in the \'peasant\' style which was so popular in the late Victorian era.
Bisque porcelain with a matte finish, but there is some gloss enamel on the clothing patterning
The girl is holding a milk jug in her right arm and the corner of her apron in her left hand. She has a kerchief on her head and a ruffled blouse with a vest. Her clothing and shoelaces have hand-applied gold gilding.
The boy is holding a handled milk jug in each hand. He is wearing a peasant style hat and shirt and knee length trousers, with tall socks. His clothing and shoe edges have hand-applied gold gilding.
Both figurines are painted with soft pastel colors in a matte finish. Both have polka dots on their clothing- the girl has gold gilt dots on her apron, the boy has cobalt blue dots on his shirt.
Both are supported by a large tree trunk with very small bark and limb detailing, which theGEBRUDER HEUBACH company used on most of its larger figurines. The tree trunks add a beautiful and finished touch.
The boy has the number 76 hand painted in gold in antique script on the inside of his base.
Looks gorgeous from any angle
A very nice size, quite heavy. Magnificent quality.
Excellent antique condition but for one very minor chip at the tip of the spout on the pitcher in the boy\'s right hand - very minor and difficult to notice because it is downward facing & small. See last photo.3 tiny fleabite nicks at the boy\'s base where it would rest against a table- normal for age.Other than that the set is PRISTINE- No nicks, chips, cracks, scratches, crazing, fading or repair. Flawless.
Highly collectible and very rare estate pieces.Wonderful for a serious collector and would look beautiful on display
Ships fully insured & w tracking provided

I strive to give you the best service possible. I am not a dealer or professional, just a lifelong collector and enthusiast. I only list items that I think are unique and of good quality. I represent my items as accurately and clearly as I can, and believe it is always better for you to have too much information than not enough!

Remember, these are vintage items and will have reasonable signs of age and wear which only adds to their personality, appeal and \"funky vintage-ness\". They are not in their original boxes unless noted. I do not excessively clean items or remove age patina, as I want to leave that option for the buyer.
