German porcelain factories, particularly those in the Thuringia region, were a major source for these decorative pieces. They were created for display in homes as charming and sentimental objects. The combination of bisque (unglazed) porcelain for the faces and hands, and glazed porcelain for the clothing, was a common technique used to create a more realistic and detailed effect. While lacking a specific maker's mark, the quality and style strongly suggest a German origin from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52845909934427,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_61a149e7-03d0-4b69-8d59-0ed8da1320ee.png?v=1776762491","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/19th-c-antique-german-porcelain-figurine-pair-two-children-bisque-glazed-finish-1","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
