Hello Rafael,
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,
Considering the photographs, overall pattern, porcelain quality and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Painted Pair of Porcelain Parrot Figurines. The pieces dates back to the period from 1960 to 1990. The pieces are reproduction in style of Meissen and they are marked with fake Meissen marks underneath them. The Meissen figurines in parrot shapes were very popular and in high demand during the early 20th century onwards. The original pieces of Meissen in shape of parrots were usaly made in circa 1875 to circa 1910. But these pieces are clear modenr reproductions, the painting quality and the colour palette is different from those of Meissen's. Examine the surface underneath the piece, a Meissen piece would never have an unglazed base with visible raw material. Meissen pieces are hard-paste porcelains and are in superior quality in glaze, shine and surface reflection. The piece's embossed flowers at the base are also unsimilar to Meissen pieces. The piece wsa also marked, labeled with a "Recoder" label. Which is likely a reproduction atelier and a reproduction label. The pair is in average to low quality in materials and execution of the painting. The pair is in good condition without any visible problems.
