A pair of hand-painted ceramic busts depicting a fisherman and his wife — expressive, detailed, and substantial at 10.25" tall. The fisherman's weathered cap and worn gaze, the wife's traditional scarf and composed expression — these are character pieces, not generic figurines. Muted earth tones with a warm, naturally aged patina throughout.
Origin unknown, likely mid-20th century European. No maker mark identified.
