This piece is in pristine condition, with no missing lace and her long elegant fingers are in mint condition. Very rare for one of these lace figurines. No wear to the gilding.
The lace used on these figures on cuffs, ruffles and skirts is actually real lace that was soaked in a porcelain slurry. When fired it the kiln, the lace burns off, leaving the porcelain that fused with it intact.
The marking on this piece is that of the Aelteste Volkstedter pottery, the particular mark being used post WWII after 1945. The Volkstedter pottery is the oldest manufacturer in Thuringia that is still in operation.
The name “Dresden” is used after the fact that most of these lace figurines were made in Dresden, Germany
Pristine Condition - Very rare for such a delicate piece of this age less
