AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elektra – 2 large stylized ladies figures – ceramic – vintage / mid-century
Description
An exceptional collection of two decorative Elektra ceramic figures offered together as a set.
The two slender female figures are characterized by their expressive, stylized shapes and numerous three-dimensionally crafted details. Floral motifs, ribbons, buttons, folds, and textured surfaces give each figure its own individual character.
Particularly appealing is the contrasting design: one figure wears a large headpiece and a gown richly decorated with flowers and ribbons. The second figure features a tall hat as well as a striking, finely textured collar. The restrained color palette in white, cream and gray tones enhances the sculptural effect.
