    The big majolica figurine has only the mold number. I am pretty sure that is German before 1891. Majolica was very popular on that times and the style (so Art Nouveau, look the dress of the girl and the hair, the pastel tones) denotes that it is from those years. This young maiden seems to be doing harsh work, carrying the basket that contains something heavy inside. The majolica is of good manufacture and though this type is usual in faience is rare on glazed majolica. I thought that this basket are like the ones where blankets and sheets were put after they were dry expecting to being ironed and probably was used to put the clamps of the rope. The other one is small baby with and egg like the silver rabbit I had published http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/141367-a-german-silver-match-holder. Thanks for looking and for any commentary or ideas to share.
