Little Dolls Box Label Humble Translation Request

[dedfamloot]

I'd invite you over for a dish of pot stickers if you were in neighborhood

but please accept the good intentions! I can't figure out a reference for these babies - hoping the label will do it

Best to all...

天X泥人 and the rest I can't read. Something about clay figurines, unsurprisingly :-) The figurines themselves are a common souvenir/cutesy gift in China, I don't know if they have any special meaning.

Could you perhaps take another picture of just that label? And the other way around (it's upside down now)?

Thanks Lu

Yes too hurried wiith schedule saturday will shoot better next weekend

Appreciate your looking- these were given to a lawyer as partial payment

maybe there's diamonds inside....ha

Unless there are diamonds inside, these dolls are worth something like 10-20 yuan at most. I hope the lawyer didn't expect them to be worth more.

The right line reads "天津泥人張彩塑 (Tianjin Zhang's Painted Clay Figurines?)". The left line is too small and blurred for me to make out.

@Lu

 

I am afraid you can't get one at 20 rmb.

 

For what it's worth, the going price for such a pair of figurines is 560 rmb on taobao.com. Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.24.BSGf4t&id=4554781435

 

But there are some that are cheaper, of course.

 

 

PS: 泥人張 was a famous craftsman.

Too cool people of chinese-forums

I prostrate myself toward Fengdu in gratitude

Ah ok, I was wrong then! Assuming they're real, of course.
