JI2025000377Description
Set of two painted porcelain Japanese figurines dressed in colonial-style garments. The girl is holding a small flower, and the boy is clothed in a cap and holding a hat. While they look more western in fashion, the pair were made in Japan during the mid-20th century. The artist was likely trying to mimic Dresden-style porcelain, a German company who was very popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are likely a set belonging with the pair of adult porcelain dancing figurines.Context
The pair of figurines belonged to the Jordan family.Ethnography
