Imagine a moment of quiet elegance in a grand European ballroom, where a lady dressed in the finest white lace holds a delicate fan, exuding grace and sophistication. This Dresden Figurine of a Lady with Fan in White Dress captures not just a scene, but an era of timeless beauty and refined artistry. She stands as a work of art frozen in time, carefully crafted by Dresden artisans renowned for their expertise in creating lifelike, delicate figurines.
This figurine is not only a beautiful piece but also a connection to Dresden’s storied history of porcelain craftsmanship. Since the early 18th century, Dresden has been a name synonymous with some of the world’s finest porcelain, known for its attention to detail and mastery of intricate lacework. The artisans of Dresden used a unique technique of applying real lace dipped in liquid porcelain, which, once fired, became a delicate, lasting part of the figurine. This process is clearly evident in the fine lace details of this lady’s white dress, which showcases the painstaking care and passion Dresden craftsmen put into each creation.
Imagine this figurine as a tribute to the grand European courts, a time when fashion and art blended seamlessly, and every gesture told a story. The lady's graceful posture, the soft folds of her lace dress, and her fan held just so convey a scene of elegance that feels almost tangible. This figurine’s craftsmanship makes it easy to picture her as a cherished piece in a stately home, where she might have been admired by candlelight on a fine table or admired in a curio cabinet.
Dresden’s reputation as a leader in fine porcelain emerged from a dedication to quality and an understanding of art as a bridge to beauty. The figurine’s hand-painted details and lifelike lacework bring a rich sense of history, from the European aristocratic traditions that inspired the Dresden artisans to the porcelain-making legacy they shaped. Every brushstroke and lace detail on this piece is a tribute to that heritage.
As a collector, bringing this Dresden Lady with Fan into your home means you’re not only adding a beautiful object but embracing a piece of history and artistry. The figurine holds a charm that will continue to inspire admiration and conversation, bridging the past with the present. Imagine her displayed in your collection, bringing with her the elegance of an era gone by and the craftsmanship of the Dresden artisans. This is not just a figurine—it’s a slice of European art history, a testament to refinement and grace, and a timeless treasure to be admired for generations.

There is some residue on the bottom, which appears to be glue, and the brand and number 666 are stamped underneath. The pink lace section has minor damage.

SHIPPING
We strive to package items so that they are not damaged during shipping. However, if item breakage occurs during shipping an insurance claim will need to be processed. Please see the INSURANCE AND / OR REFUND section for more information on starting a claim. The price of the shipping is an estimate of the furthest location possible we can ship. We are happy to provide a refund for any extra in the shipping.
If you are using a PO-BOX as shipping address, consider that you might have an increase in the price of your shipping. This happens because USPS charges more for this kind of delivery, especially for larger and heavier packages.
We use UPS as our primary shipping company.
We plan to ship with insurance.
If you are an international purchaser, you have two choices:
1) Sign up with eBay for International Shipping Program. This allows you to see the domestic (USA) shipping costs as well as international shipping, handling, and other fees. The import charges include any customs duties, taxes, brokerage, and other fees. This means that we as the seller will send your item to the global shipping center, and it will be shipped to you from there. This option allows eBay to take care of the shipping process for you.
Our shipping price is based on the use of lots of shipping material to avoid any damage to the product. However, this does not mean that damage to the item will not happen.

INSURANCE AND / OR REFUND
To start an insurance claim, it is important that you send us pictures of all damage/pieces of the broken item, the packaging inside the box, and the external packaging. Please keep all packaging until any damage inspection is complete. The claim process may take upwards of 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months) to complete. Please be patient and we will keep you informed of the progress.
If your item arrives with damage due to the shipping process, we are happy to reimburse you. This reimbursement can work in two ways:
TOTAL REFUND: A total refund will ONLY happen if the item was completely lost or damaged in a way that renders it unusable. To receive a complete refund, you need to photograph and send pictures of the broken item and the packing box. Then you must package and ship the damaged item back, including the broken pieces. The buyer is required to pay the return shipping costs. A total refund can also happen if you are dissatisfied with your item. In this case the packaging and return of the item is also mandatory.
PARTIAL REFUND: A partial refund will happen if your item was damaged due to the shipping process. The value of the partial refund will be discussed and agreed upon between buyer and seller. To receive a partial refund, the buyer needs to send pictures of all damaged pieces, the packing box the item was sent in and material the item was sent with. The buyer is required to keep the damaged pieces and packing material until the process is finalized.
