Description: Aelteste Volkstedter Dresden Lace Dancer with Flowers 5 1/2" Tall * MINT 5 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" wide x 2 3/4" deep A beautiful female figure, in a pretty white lace gown with rows and rows of ruffles. Her bodice has a ruffled lace collar and her bodice and shoes are a soft rust color. The lace tiers of her skirt are adorned with beautiful roses and flowers. The base is gilded. Her face is exquisitely detailed and her brunette hair is adorned with a flower. This piece is in pristine condition, with no missing lace and her long elegant fingers are in mint condition. Very rare for one of these lace figurines. No wear to the gilding. The lace used on these figures on cuffs, ruffles and skirts is actually real lace that was soaked in a porcelain slurry. When fired it the kiln, the lace burns off, leaving the porcelain that fused with it intact. The marking on this piece is that of the Aelteste Volkstedter pottery, the particular mark being used post WWII after 1945. The Volkstedter pottery is the oldest manufacturer in Thuringia that is still in operation. The name “Dresden” is used after the fact that most of these lace figurines were made in Dresden, Germany Pristine Condition - Very rare for such a delicate piece of this age
