This decorative figurine from 1920 is made from hand-painted porcelain with enamel and gold gilt highlights in a Rococo style. The piece depicts a dancing girl with wings, wearing a brown tricorne hat, a pink jacket with patterned sleeves, a pale blue ruffled apron, and a floral patterned petticoat with purple and yellow flowers over pale shoes with gold accents, standing on a gilded base. The figurine measures H: 9 x W: 4 x D: 3.5 cm in practical terms. In a home today, this piece works well displayed on a mantelpiece to add colour and traditional character to a room. The hand-painted finish and detailed costume bring a decorative touch to interior shelving or tabletops.

Rococo porcelain figurines are defined by dynamic poses, vibrant polychrome enamel colours, soft drapery, and romantic or pastoral themes. Originating in European manufactories during the 18th century, these figures feature intricate hand-painted details and delicate gilding.

Hard-paste porcelain is created from a mixture of kaolin clay and feldspathic rock fired at high temperatures. The figures are subsequently hand-painted with overglaze enamel pigments and decorated with liquid gold or gold leaf highlights before a secondary lower-temperature firing.

Authentic Meissen pieces generally feature the crossed swords factory mark underglaze in cobalt blue on the base. Collectors also examine the precision of the hand-painted enamelling, crispness of the original mould lines, and incised model or painter numbers near the base.

Porcelain figurines are often placed in glass display cabinets, on mantelpieces, or styled within curated bookshelf vignettes to add historical depth. Pairing delicate ceramic figures with clean modern surfaces creates an engaging visual contrast in contemporary interiors.

Dust figures regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent dirt accumulation in delicate crevices. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water, as moisture can compromise cold painted details or underlying restoration work.
