The figures depict women dressed in elaborate Turn of the Century (Victorian/Edwardian) costume, executed with polychrome enamel decoration primarily in soft pastel shades of blue, pink, and cream. The bases of the figurines are stamped with titles: “Afternoon Promenade” (marked © FM 1989), “Enchanted Evening” (marked © FP 1988), and “THE TURN OF THE CENTURY BALL” (1899).
