About the Item

Rare Viennese Art Déco ceramic figurine: Young, pretty dancer with blonde, curly hair posing in a short, see-through costume, barefoot on tiptoes in a step position, her upper body turned to the side and leaning backwards, her eyes closed, her front arm raised and her hand touching her hair, her back arm extended under one of the long trains attached to the back of her costume, so that the fabric glides down to the floor like a butterfly wing. On a black stepped oval base.
