20th century, second half, in my view. Mark characters and bottom impression look odd. This may have been made specifically for export.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for taking time and inspecting the pics.
These days i see a lot of people do pay lots of money for smaller 20 century pieces. Some in better quality and some in poorer quality than this one.

The seller asks 150 euros for both figurines but im not sure of they're worth it. Probably not a good investment, isn't it?

I think the reason that we never see such figurines is that the Chinese are simply not interested. That also means the pricing is completely based on the overseas markets. I doubt anyone here would spend that much, or collect something like this. Age is still important.

Thanks Peter,
I think you're right about old age. I can spend better money for items that already have a collection value. i'll stand away of this
