History

These porcelain figurines depicting a boy and girl in casual attire with bags were likely produced in the 1970s to 1980s, possibly by Gerold Porzellan of Germany based on the marking "112" found on the bottom of the girl figurine. The delicate blue and white color scheme and the simple, innocent styling are characteristic of decorative porcelain figurines from this era. These types of figurines became popular as affordable decorative items and gifts during the mid-to-late 20th century. They appeal to collectors of childhood-themed porcelain who appreciate their nostalgic representation of youthful innocence. The gentle pastel coloring, sweet expressions, and matching pair presentation make them desirable for collectors of vintage European porcelain figurines who display them as part of home decor collections.
