For sale is a stunning, vintage Dresden-style porcelain lace figurine depicting two young ballerinas dancing in a circle, holding hands. Produced by Sandizell Porzellanfabrik (part of the Höffner group) in Germany – a lesser-known but highly respected maker of fine Dresden lace pieces in the mid-20th century.

Key features:

Exquisite hand-applied porcelain lace skirts with delicate pink edging

Beautiful applied floral decoration (roses, pansies) in pastel colors

One girl with blonde hair & pink bow, the other with black hair & blue bow

Both in classic ballerina pose with joyful expressions

Perfect “crown” mark in blue underglaze: crowned interlaced S with “Sandizell” and the number “53”

Gold trim on the base

No chips, cracks, repairs, fingers in tact.

Measurements:

Height: just under 4 inches (10 cm)

Width (across skirts): approx. 6 inches (15 cm)

This exact model is very hard to find, especially in flawless condition. These Sandizell Dresden lace ballerina groups were made in limited numbers in the 1950s–1960s and are highly sought after by collectors of German lace figurines (similar in quality and style to Unterweissbach and Irish Dresden pieces).

A beautiful, romantic display piece that looks spectacular under light – the lace is incredibly delicate and detailed.

From a smoke-free, pet-free home. Carefully stored and displayed in a curio cabinet.
