Antique German Pair of Earthenware Figures c 1875

Antique pair of Earthenware figures
Marked to the base DEPONIRT MADE IN GERMANY
Deponirt was the term used to show that the design was registered and protected. It was replaced in 1875 and dropped out of use completely after about 1890.
They also have an impressed makers mark, but I have been unable to identify it.
The figurines themselves are great, no damage or losses. They do have the odd area of rubbing and odd paint chips, you could clean them but that would strip the patina

Amazing antique condition
He is a little taller and stands 11 inches tall
