What does this mean?

Dear Ann,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be two small-sized porcelain figurines with unknown measurements. Both depict gnomes or "Zwerge". Under the base, we see a model number and these pieces were probably made in the first half of the 20th century by a smaller manufacturer in Saxony, Thuringia or Bohemia.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 10 to 30 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
