This charming pair from New Art Wares is one of their more commonly found sets. Numbered 431 (gentleman) and 430 (lady), they represent a stylized colonial couple. The man holds a lute and coin purse, while the woman appears to carry a tambourine, adding a musical theme to the tableau.
Although not rare, these figures are a great example of mid-century chalkware, featuring soft pastel coloring and romanticized historical styling typical of the era.
Estimated Value: ~$20 for the pair
