Large girl / boy lamps

By zillagirl, 15 July, 2009
Description

I have had no luck in finding these anywhere to reference against. I have never seen another set.
Heads on them are about the size of a softball if not a little larger.
Girl is wearing a brown/tan babushka (sp) and sweater, green skirt and brown shoes. She is holding an orange bowl. She stands on a green base.
Boy is wearing brown/tan cap, tan coat, green shirt and pants.Holding what looks like to be a rock in his right hand, while holding either a bowl or plate in his left hand. Brown shoes standing on a green base. Both lamps are heavy for being table lamps. The lamps came with shades, which I might add are huge. Still in their brown wrap paper.

History
These lamps belonged to my father-in-laws first wife. He married the 2nd time back in the 1970's, so they are pretty old by now. He was full blooded Italian so I am guessing maybe they are from Italy. No one from the family has been able to tell us anything about them. They were buried in the attic until last year.
