Porcelain ballerina/dancer figurine
Estimated Value
$30-$150
A decorative porcelain figurine depicting a graceful female dancer or ballerina in a stylized pose, holding out the sides of a flowing dress or skirt. The piece has a smooth glazed finish with soft pastel coloring, including a pale flesh-tone upper body and a light pink-to-white draped skirt. The modeling emphasizes elongated lines, a refined neck and profile, and elegant movement. The style suggests a mass-produced decorative collectible rather than a high-end studio sculpture, though the craftsmanship is attractive and detailed.
