Pair Of 18th-century Thuringia, Germany, Porcelain Chinoiserie Figures

A rare, and amusing pair of chinoiserie porcelain figures, late eighteenth-century Thuringia, possibly Gotthelf Greiner. She feeds a flower to the bird above her. He is being pecked by the bird above him.

Marks: Underglaze crossed “Ls” with a horizontal bar (very faint on her). Incised model number “430”.

Dimensions:
Height (him): 16 cm (6.3 in)
Height (her): 16.5 cm (6.5 in)

Condition:
To the naked eye, these figures appear to be in very good condition, with no easily identifiable losses, damage, or apparent restoration. However, under ultraviolet light, flaring reveals high-quality, professional restoration as follows:
Her: Left sleeve. Ends of large pink leaves on the tree trunk.
Him: Right sleeve. Hat. Bird’s head and back. Upper part of the tree trunk.
