Presented here for your offerdingconsideration is thislovely antiquemarked Volkstedt Dresden lace figurine depicting a beautiful woman wearing a delicate crinoline dress strewn with flowers!The lady is posed ever so gracefully upon a greensettee, her slenderlimbs extended to arrange the frothy layers of her ethereal gown. Tiny porcelain flowers are artfully arranged on her skirt, bodice, and in her hair. Note the details in the painting of her expressive facial features, and the fine brushstrokes inher hair to define every curl and wave. The figurine comes in a desirable size fordisplay purposes--roughly 6 3/4\"wide by 5 1/4\" tall and 4 1/2\" deep. The piece is clearly marked on the bottom with theVolkstedt mark that I believe was used from 1900 to 1936, a stamped number 42 as pictured.

These draped lace figurines are astonishing in their delicacy, and is often the case, there are some losses to the fragile material. Fortunately, this example has held up quite well. All through the three layers of ruffles at the hemline there are tiny,mostly inconsequential chips. Near her knee the lace is chipped just a bit. On the right hand side near the chair leg the pink ruffle is chipped, along with a bit of the white layer. The lace of the bodice does not seem to be affected at all. The flowers are all pretty wonderful. Still, a very lovely piece to behold!

If you have any questions please ask.

This is almost perfect a beautiful piece.
