It's not porcelain. It's not plastic? Maybe a resin? Anyone ever seen these?

    Not sure what these are made of. It isn't porcelain but it isn't plastic. It's not heavy. I don't think they are valuable but I am perplexed by them. They are on a wood base. Anyone ever seen something similar? No markings about 17-18 inches tall. They are pretty.

    That is what I am leaning towards. Just want a little confirmation that I am correct in this assumption.

    Your figures remind me of the trinket boxes made in by a company called Incolay. They have/had a pat. process. Sorta plastic, but not.

    I agree with resin.
    Those are nicely done.
    Probably a line to depict Ladies of Fashion for what the 1920s?

    Hi,
    The figurines look very similar to those produced by either Belcari or Vittorio Tessaro. They are both Italian sculpture artists. If I am right they are probably made from resin. Are they signed anywhere?

    There are many types of resins, and some like the Incolay and the Italian ones mentioned are much better than the cheap resins used for run-of-the-mill imports.
    Your sculptures look to be very nicely done.

    I really didn't think so but honestly, I didn't look them over all that well. I kind of moved past them pretty quick because of the medium. I was thinking that resin figurines couldn't be of much value. I will be back out to the gallery tomorrow and will take a better look at them. Maybe I just missed some sort of mark. I will let you all know when I have a chance to look again.

    Take advantage of the after effects of Downton Abbey!!!

    Late teens, early twenties. Note influence of Vionnet.

    :)
