Pair of Gebruder Heubach German Bisque Porcelain Spectacle Figurines - A fine pair of German bisque porcelain figurines attributed to the Gebruder Heubach factory of Lichte, Thuringia, dating to the late 19th century. These hollow-cast sculptures depict a man and woman in stylized Victorian-era attire, characterized by the whimsical addition of molded wire-rim spectacles. The female figure is modeled wearing a distinctive tall bonnet and ruff collar, holding a closed parasol, while the male figure wears a top hat and a long frock coat with a decorative cravat. Both pieces are finished in a soft powder blue and white palette, embellished with hand-painted brown floral sprigs and delicate gilt accents. The bases are unglazed and open, showing indistinct red painter or batch marks on the interior rims. This specific ”spectacle” series is highly sought after by collectors of German bisque for its characterful modeling and charm. Dimensions: 4.50”L x 4.50”W x 12.25”H Weight: 4.00 lb 11.00oz Condition: Good. Boy missing staff.
