This 1950s era little pixie elf figurines are made in a primitive style but the faces are painted in a manner that suggests California pottery. I'm not sure if they were produced by a professional studio or amateur ceramic artist as they are unsigned.

Their bodies are dark green with a glossy glaze, their faces are unglazed pink bisque with hand painted features. One is leaning back on his elbows with one leg crossed over a knee, the other is lying on his belly with legs up and hands stretched out in front. The pixies are 2 and 2-1/4 inches long, about 1-3/4" high. They have a few small glaze misses or possible tiny scratches, no breaks or chips.
