This charming pair of vintage figurines depicts traditional Chinese folk motifs, featuring a young boy riding a giant carp through crashing waves and another figure carrying a catch alongside a resting child. These pieces are crafted from molded resin, designed to emulate the look of aged ivory or bone, complete with a subtle patina and hand-tinted accents in red, green, and gold. The "Boy on a Carp" is a powerful symbol in Chinese culture, representing Yue Long Men (The Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate), which signifies perseverance, success, and the wish for a bright future for one's children. While they bear a red character mark on the base indicating an Oriental origin, they are likely mid-to-late 20th-century decorative export items. Both figurines are in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks, retaining vibrant color in the patterned robes and scales. Dimensions: 12.5cm (l) x 10.5cm (h)
