Featured Help, tall Lady figurines might be meissen?

HI, just picked these up a bit ago, kinda rushed but took some quick picks.. ideas? The lady in blue finger is broken
TIA

 

Yes but in these gender fluidity days who can say for sure?

Lady on left looks ready to give him a whack with that sickle for being out late with the boys though ..

 

I agree ... male. .. Joy.

 

If the lady has her way with that scythe -- not for long!

 

Doesn't appear like he has that much to lop off ... Joy.

 

Tricia, so sorry! Nobody answered your question! I certainly can't, as every piece of Meissen I've ever seen has been in a museum. Everythhing else seems to be disproved.

 

Joy - Remember that man who successfully masqueraded as a woman for years?

 

I don't remember that Silver .. if that was his "thing" I would be okay with it, to each his-her own I say !!! ... Joy.

 

Meissen is the most heavily copied mark in the china world. I think they are German,probably 1880s or so,but thats all a guess.

 

I don't think the quality is there for Meissen. I agree with johnnycb09 on the origin and dating. There may be a mold number and/or manufacturer's code on the back.

Only other mark I could find..

 

(Shi Pei Pu. Chinese opera singer who, for twenty years, worked as a spy, carrying on an affair with a French diplomat. Basis for Madame Butterfly. )

These are not Meissen.

Is this a mark, or just a blip in the porcelain?


They could be Conta & Boehme.

 

I'm not sure I'll double check

 

I looked all over again and no luck..
Here's some other pics at different angles..

Here's what I'm looking at:


And here it is compared to a clearer example of a Conta & Boehme mark:


Also, the style of the pieces is consistent with Conta & Boehme.
