Description

Pair of antique figurine lamps, passed down from my great grandparents.  The base appears to be handpainted porcelain, in perfect condition....only slight differences in the handpainted details but the figurines are the same.  

Figurines are a male and female, the male is carrying some kind of bird in his left hand and the female is carrying a basket in her right hand.  There appears to be gold or silver detailing.

Both in excellent condition....the only imperfection is to the back of one of the bases...it appears that there was a small crack but it has been sealed and coated and is very sturdy and hardly noticeable. 

The shades are the originals as well and do have several small tears but overall in good condition.

On the bottom is a red, handpainted "Made in Occupied Japan", so I am guessing around WWII era is when these lamps were made.

Both lamps work perfectly when plugged in.

I would like to know how much they are valued at and I would consider selling them.  Thank you very much for your help in advance!!
