Antique Genuine Kutani Figurines Gold Dipped (RARE) signed pair

Description

This is the real deal! These are not ordinary . . . they are extraordinary! Two (2) signed Original and Genuine Kutani Gold Dipped Quail Figurines!  I haven't seen any quail figurines like these out there with original marking on them.  These two beauties would be great original pieces of art for interior design client or collector.  Replicas have seams and some of the original Kutani's have seal label stamp and look like they are from molds.  These look almost handmade and have no seams.  They are absolutely gorgeous! Gold dipped looks like 18K or 24K, and pretty heavy on the porcelain clay in the base area.  You can tell from the bottom.  Their eyes definitely speak to you.  Their character is like no other out there.  I mean really speak to you.  The gold color has a very vintage luster depending on where the light hits them.  There are no chips or marks on these.  They have been definitely taken care of for many many years and are in excellent condition.  I almost don't want to sell them, but know someone will see their true value if you know Kutani.  I can take more photos if you need any detail pictures before you purchase them.  The bottoms are at least a 1/4" think in porcelain.   There feathers are superbly done.  They definitely belong in a home that will covet and take care of them.  They are special quails and I am sure will bring lots of good luck to whomever buys them.  These are a pass down to generation bird figurines. They are stunning!  I can show you on ebay a few pictures of others out there with the signature similar to the last three markings at 9.00 signed Kutani Geese that are not gold dipped.  I am not positive, but I think they were made in the early or late Taisho period and signed by the artist, but you may have to investigate a little on them to see for sure. I am just basing my information on an experienced seller who know the markings.  Higher shipping is based on special packing and insuring these pieces, so they get to you safely.
