Porcelain Figurines-Unknown

By nedgcomb, 2 July, 2009
Description

I just inherited a matched set of 2 figurines 16” tall and 7” oval bases, a man and a woman which were in my parents’ house since I was a child, I don't know what they are and cannot find any obvious markings. I think they are quite old. The clothing appears to be European, maybe French, circa 1700-1800's but can't be sure. The theme is obviously hunting.

Perhaps man and wife just back from the hunt. Both are carrying a basket with 2 foul each, perhaps pheasants and there is a third foul at the their feet. The man has a long rifle and knee high black boots, the woman has a long fancy dress with an orange sash wrapped and hanging. There is a distinctive flower pattern painted on the lower part of her dress. This is all I can really tell you and have provided photos. Again, I can cannot find any obvious markings but can take more detailed photos if needed.

If anyone could give me an idea of what they are and approximate value, that would be great - THANKS!
