This charming pair of porcelain figural figurines was produced in Japan during the Occupied Japan period, dating to the late 1940s to early 1950s. The figures depict a gentleman and a lady dressed in 18th-century European-style attire, each rendered in expressive poses with finely modeled facial features and flowing garments. The figures are richly hand painted in soft pastel tones with vibrant accents and gilt highlights throughout the costumes. Both bases are marked Made in Occupied Japan, confirming postwar export production. These decorative figures reflect the romantic revival style popular in mid-century porcelain collectibles and display well as a matched pair.
