The figurine pair depict traditional Dutch boy and girl bending to kiss, and the boy holding a bouquet of tulips behind his back and with the girls hands on her hips. These were produced around 1950 from commercial molds. In doing some research in the 1979. 1979 Book of Porcelain Art, ....
Never really expected to see these, There is an accepted opinion that only 12 pair were produced. Stating it is a guess it could have been that only two of three pair were produced. Since the possibility of seeing a pair is slim, it was with great joy and surprise that I ran across a pair. The mold number associated with these us RPC-704-03.
They did not produce many of these, exact number is not known. In keeping with the fact that these were not mass produced, or even supposed to be produced it goes without saying some were not inspected completely, as is the case with this pair, while I did find comparable with holes in hats (for salt and pepper) the girl in this set has holes on the top of her cap, but the boy does not. This makes this set even more unique. Excellent estate found condition, free of crazing, glaze checking, chips, and breaks.Dutch girl has holes for salt or pepper, boy is missing his holes for salt or pepper on top of hat. Both marked Boehm on bottom. Otherwise, I have not found any other imperfections--it is free of chips, cracks, scratches, crazing, glaze checking or breaks--really immaculate condition. They are all antique/vintage estate found and all items.
And as such, all will run the risk of having the following defects which are, but not limited to: age spots dark or light, scratches, paint loss, fading, signs of age, signs of use, signs of general wear and tear, signs of storage. These defects are assumed to be present in all items--but as stated above I try to describe all items in complete accuracy.
