AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Presentation: A beautiful, stylized white-glazed ceramic figurine of a dancer, holding her dress or veil sideways in a flowing, elegant motion. This impressive model was produced by the factory as both a decorative sculpture and, in a rare factory-original lamp version. The socket holder is crimped directly into the ceramic mold at the back of the base, creating a atmospheric backlit effect through the hollow form.
Dimensions & Weight:
Height: 41 cm (the rarer, larger version; for reference, one of the photos shows a 1.5-liter bottle of wine placed beside it for photographic purposes only and is not part of the auction).
Width: 32 cm
Depth: 16 cm
Weight: 2160 grams
Electrical: Equipped with retro wiring, a cream-white cord, a switch and a flat plug (typical components dating from around 1950–1970). The cord runs neatly from the underside into the integrated socket at the back. The Phillips lamp is included but no guarantee is given for the light source itself.
Condition: The white-glazed ceramic is in good visual condition with a beautiful sheen and slight craquelure. On the inside and underside of the hollow pedestal ring there is a hairline crack in the ceramic (see bottom photo), which does not affect the decorative appearance on the outside or the view from the front.
Shipping & Packaging:
Very careful shipping: This fragile and valuable lot is packaged with the utmost care. To prevent transport damage to the ceramic, professional packing materials, double boxing, and shock-absorbing protection are employed. Shipping is fast, insured, and with Track & Trace.
