• Crying Princess Who Never smiled,

Which are made at the Riga porcelain factory.
Both figurines are sold as a set.

Description of the porcelain figurines "Tsar Pea and The Princess Who Never Smiled":

The storyline on which the figurines are made is as follows:
The Princess Who Never Smiled lived in the royal palace, amid wealth and luxury. The girl never laughed, and nothing amused or pleased her. The tsar was hard to look at his eternally sad daughter ...
It is this moment that these two figurines personify.
The tsar tried to amuse his daughter with Petrushka, but as usual he failed. He froze, full of thoughts.
His daughter sits with a sour face, and nothing pleases her.

A wonderful genre scene of two figurines, at a relatively low price.
