Beautiful vintage Dresden-style porcelain ballerina in a graceful ballet pose, marked on the underside with the classic blue Crown “D” / Dresden script and “Reine Handarbeit” (German for “pure handwork”). She features delicate hand-decorated details, soft pastel tones, gold accents, and an elegant pink fabric tutu with lace trim. The base is adorned with a colorful applied porcelain flower bouquet in the traditional “Dresden flowers” look. A charming display piece for ballet lovers and collectors of romantic German porcelain.
Marked “Reine Handarbeit.” As typical for Dresden-style figurines, this indicates hand-finished/hand-decorated workmanship (hand painting, detailing, and applied elements), with the porcelain figure generally mold-cast and then finished by hand.
