The seller say it is Chinese made and at the moment, I only have one photo.

Hmmmm. The parrot on the right looks later to me, almost like someone had one and had another made for a pair. The detail isn't quite as good, the base looks fresher, they left eye of the right figure looks crudely defined in comparison to the other figure
Would need to see underneath.
-
Right one does look newer !! Lot of differences in the detail !!
-
The execution of the one on the left is much better. Almost like a teacher and student made them. Notice the wing feathers and how uniform they are on the one. If they were of different ages would the colors be so identical? Not sure. Are they painted of glazed and fired? On both the green flows onto the beak which make me think it is a glaze
-
Glaze colours wouldn't be too much of a problem, although there does appear to be slight differences.
The left parrot base is more detailed and looks older. They've highlighted the parrots claws within the base, not so in the other.
Pair here

thanks everyone.
I don't have any extra photo yet. As soon as I get some new photos from the seller I will post it here.
Fun to learn.

Here are more photos, although I admit that I can't find any useful information from there.
