The male figure wears a tricorn-style hat, a light blue jacket with pink accents, and breeches with matching floral patterns. Each figure stands beside a fluted, shell-like upright vessel set upon an ornate, rococo-style scrolled base highlighted with pink and gilt. Both pieces are further embellished with delicate, hand-applied pink roses and green foliage. No visible factory or decorator marks are present. Height: 14 cm.
