Let me be up front with you. This is not my area of expertise. So if you have any questions, I will try to answer as best as I can.
My elderly mother purchased these several years ago in California from a antique dealer.
Well the dealer basically “Saw my mother coming” and took her for several hundred dollars ($400) for these. They might be worth that? I don’t know?
That was ten years ago. So I assuming they are older than that. I am trying to get back some of my mothers money from them.
The story that was told to my mother was that there are six to the set and the dealer only had four.
She was told these are bone. They are not bone. At least I don’t think they are? I think they are resin. My mother said she thinks they are alabaster. I don’t know? I am going off my gut and saying resin. So if they are something else then that is a plus for you.
The smallest on stands 10-3/4" from the bottom of the base to the top of the statue, the next one is 12" from the bottom of the base to the top of the statue and the two big ones are 19-5/8" from the bottom of the base to the top of the statue.
They need to be cleaned. They made the trip from California to Texas and have been packed in a box for several years.
Also notice that the one has a slightly different color to it.
I have a reserve on these. Again, I am trying to help my mom out. Keep in mind I am offering free shipping and insurance and that is going to run my at least $25 to $35 in the USA through UPS.
If you need more pictures I can email them to you.
They are nice, just not my cup of tea in home decoration.
