Mid-Century Teak Boy and Girl Figures bowls rare vintage circa 1940s wickerI especially love the hats and feet of this mid century boy and girl, and the fact that she is the taller of the two. I am not sure the maker of this pair as I have not found their exact match, but they are done in the manner of Jacob Jensen (Denmark), best known for his viking figures, and I am pretty certain they are Scandinavian. Found at a fantastic estate sale loaded with mid century ceramics and other wonderful objects from around the world,
