These statues are 10.75 inches tall, 4.75 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep. The porcelain is designed like a floating cloud formation around the two girls who are offering something. There is a faded stamp underneath in red that includes "China". The porcelain with its flairs and curves around the figures is perfect without chips or breaks.

Oranges:
As with so much in Chinese culture, it comes down to wordplay. In Cantonese, the pronunciation of gat1 (桔, “mandarin oranges”) is the same as gat1 (吉, “auspiciousness”).
