These are two recent acquisitions from that fine antique emporium known as Goodwill. Certainly the place to go if you are a frugal collector.
On the right is a Roman style statue in the form of a bathing woman. Many variations of this exist. I think this one may be by Roman Art Company Incorporated, probably "Robia Ware". A similar design is made by Forte Originals.
The lady on the left I can't find anywhere, but based on family similarity I am guessing the same manufacturer. Both statues have the felt protector on the bottom that Roman Art Company normally used.
Examples
- ROMAN ROBIA WARE BATHING NUDE WOMAN STATUETTE 16" -- listed at $124
- VINTAGE 16" ROMAN ROBIA WARE BATHING NUDE WOMAN STATUETTE -- listed at $105
I also have this smaller figure, no idea about the age of manufacturer. It looks like a copy of a classical statue.
