💎 Description:
Presented is a matching pair of antique German porcelain fairing figurines produced by Conta & Boehme in the late 19th century. The compositions are executed in a characteristically humorous Victorian genre style and depict everyday scenes with satirical and allegorical undertones.
One of the figurines bears the inscription “WHEN A MAN GETS MARRIED, HIS PROBLEMS BEGIN”, emphasizing the ironic nature of the set and fully reflecting the tradition of fairing figurines often accompanied by witty, moralizing, or socially themed phrases.
The figurines feature expressive modeling, careful hand-painted decoration, and detailed rendering of clothing and facial features. Such fairing figures were widely distributed as prizes and souvenirs at fairgrounds and entertainment venues in England, despite their German origin.
