Pair of little gardeners, Meissen porcelain

Adorable little gardeners in Meissen porcelain. The boy is carrying a flower basket, swinging a tool over his shoulder. The girl is holding a basket of vegetables. Marked under the base. They are part of Kaendler’s series of “Gardening children”, modelled originally in 1740 and composed of 20 couples of boys and girls!
