Vintage-Style Farm Couple Figurine on Wooden Base
Unbranded (Likely generic mass-produced import) · Art & Decor > Figurines
Era / Decade
1990s-2000s; based on the resin casting style and paint application typical of gift shop items from this period.
Material
Cast Resin (Polystone) with a composite wood/MDF base. Quality is low-to-mid tier.
Condition
Good. There is visible grime/dust buildup in the crevices (notably on the girl's white skirt) and minor paint loss/rubbing on the boy's hat and hair. The zip-tie price tag implies it hasn't been cleaned or refurbished.
Demand Level
Low. Demand for generic resin figurines has declined significantly as younger buyers move toward minimalist or specific name-brand collectibles.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $12.00
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $15.00
Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded resin figurines of children/animals typically sell for $3-$8 at garage sales and $8-$12 on platforms like Etsy or Mercari when presented well.
Description
A charming country-themed resin figurine depicting a young farm boy and girl. The boy wears green overalls and a straw hat, while the girl is in a yellow dress with a white apron, holding a small animal (likely a sheep or lamb). The piece is mounted on a circular polished wooden base with a classic 'country cottage' aesthetic.
Key Features
Nostalgic 'Country Core' or 'Cottagecore' aesthetic; small shelf-size footprint; neutral earth-tone colors; includes a finished wooden base which adds a slight premium over flat resin bases.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely an unbranded mass-market item. There are no signatures or stamps visible in the photo. High confidence that this is a generic decorative item rather than a designer collectible (like Hummel or Willow Tree).
Flaws to Note
Significant dust in textured areas requiring deep cleaning; minor scuffs on the resin surface; zip-tie through the hats may have caused minor indentations or paint rubbing; lack of maker's mark reduces collectible value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, local flea markets, or as a 'filler' item in an Etsy vintage shop if bundled with other country decor. Not recommended for high-fee platforms like eBay or Poshmark due to shipping costs vs. low profit margin.
Selling Tips
Deep clean the figurine with a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water to remove gray grime from the white resin. Use keywords like 'Cottagecore,' 'Farmhouse Decor,' and 'Rustic Nursery' to attract niche buyers. This item is best used as a 'buy-low-sell-low' volume item rather than a high-profit flip.
