    I'm familiar with Arnart but I can't find anything about "Divinity China" as it applies to Arnart Imports or anything else.
    They stand just over 10" tall. Made of porcelain. Not high dollar items I'm sure, but I would like to try and find out some information on them.
    Can't find a match anywhere. Anybody?

    I guess no one has anything to add?

    One uber rare pair of Japanese import busts, lol.

    I was more interested in the "Divinity China" mark on them than anything else.
    Also, there is a signature on the backs.

    I've looked at this a couple of times and can't really offer anything certain. Divinity China is most likely just a name Arnart made up because they thought it would lend an extra bit of class. They may be fairly rare. Arnart did not import many large items like this (at least that I've ever seen) and there's a good chance at least one of the bust would get damaged over the years.

    Even if rare I think you're correct that they are not high dollar items. They are a a copy of similar products made by French manufacturers like Limoges. Arnart is not a collectible name on its own and these types of busts are not popular at the moment. Sorry I can't help more.
