Re: Angel playing harp
Ardalt was an import export business that rebranded pieces and sold them as their own brand, the small figurines like your angels tend to sell in the $10.00- $20.00 range at auction

"The double A mark of Ardalt A, seems to have been a trademark for tableware, dishes, jars and vases registered by ARDALT Inc. Corp., 95 Madison AVE., New York and first used in 1945. On some pieces the trademark 'Lenwile' occurs which was also registered by the ARDALT Inc., in 1945, for use on figurines and statuettes. Both marks have been used on Japanese pieces. The name Ardalt occurs also on pieces from other countries."
