Art glass ballerina figurine
Estimated Value
$20-$60
A small decorative glass figurine depicting a ballerina or dancer in a graceful pose, with one arm raised and the other extended. The figure is made of opaque milky white glass with a glossy finish and molded floral or beaded detailing on the bodice and base. A small pink fabric flower has been added near the raised hand, suggesting it may be a decorative accent or replacement embellishment rather than an original integral feature. The style is ornamental and likely mass-produced rather than a high-end studio glass piece.
