This is really a very cute lot of Dutch children from approximately 100 years ago. The tallest boy (approximately 7 inches) is a decanter. Unfortunately his cork has broken and then replaced with a pencil somebody stuck into his head.He could either be glued permanently on or his cork could be replaced. He does have some crazing but no chips or cracks. He has very round googly eyes that were popular in the 1920s.
The next figure is a made in Japan Bell boy. As bells go he doesn’t make much of a noise but he’s without breakage of any kind, impressed Japan on the back of his foot. Once again this figure has an endearing cherubic face with 1920s style eyes.
The last of the lot, also in excellent condition are these two 2 1/2 inch tall singing children. Made by Gebruder Heubach they are made of porcelain bisque and have a lovely paint job on their tiny little faces. A paint job to be expected from that company.
