Dear Mari,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a two Japanese ceramic temple or Fo dogs with unknown measurements. These porcelain figurines were made in Kutani which is a porcelain manufacturing centre In Japan with a tradition that reaches into the middle of the 17th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutani_ware). These two temple dogs were made in Japan Kutani in the second half of the 20th century for export to the Western countries.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
