These figures are tall ( 24" inches height) and impressive. Meissen type blue, underglaze crossed swords marks on the bottoms. They are, however, most likely of 19th Century Gille/Vion and Baury (French/Paris) manufacture. The overall quality is excellent as is Gille/Vion and Baury porcelain in general. Gille/Vion and Baury figures were shown at expositions all over Europe during the 19th century, winning many gold medals
