This came from an estate which described it as Dresden Porcelain depicting famed Imperial Russian dancers Nijinsky as Pierrot and Tamara Karsavina as Columbine, from the famous Ballet Russes. I was told it was highly rare figurine and few exist. It is marked to base with the Volkstedt mark and "Germany". Circa 1st quarter 20th c. This piece measures about 8" tall, 7" wide. There is some loss to lace decoration and a very old glue repair to his right arm, in back, noticeable only becaus...e of darkened glue. I have examined this with UV light and that is the only repair. Please view images of this rare piece and I will be happy to answer any further questions.
