Two hand-painted porcelain figurines, both marked ‘Japan’ on the base, indicating Japanese origin, likely produced between the 1920s and 1950s. The taller figurine depicts a man and a woman dressed in colonial-style attire, with the woman wearing a green shawl and white dress and the man in a red coat and breeches. The companion figure portrays a male musician, seated or kneeling, in a red coat holding a scroll or musical instrument. Both pieces are decorated with simple brushstrokes and muted glazes.
