    Do what do you think of these. Vintage or ‘new’? So maybe I was fooled? They are 6cm long and standing 5cm tall. Thank you for any comments

    Looks like the little guy on the right at the bottom of Raphael's Sistine Madonna:

    Thanks the term: Angel Cherubs? No sure if that’s correct.

    These ‘vintage new’ made of plaster. Also has a cool aged look. So maybe they are also made in clay?

    Just 'cherub' would be enough.

    Those Raphael cherubs became hugely popular on their own in home decor in the 1990s. No wonder Chinese manufacturers made them too.

    Agree with above. "Hugely popular" and "1990s."
