Iridescent Porcelain Lady Figurine with Blue Ribbons and Flowers
This is a lovely porcelain figurine of a woman dressed in a highly decorative, period-style gown.
The most striking feature is the high-gloss, iridescent glaze on her dress, which creates a rainbow shimmer over the white, vertically-pleated skirt. She wears a wide-brimmed hat decorated with blue accents and a prominent blue ribbon around her waist and as a bow on her bodice. The tiered skirt is further embellished with small, applied blue ceramic roses or flowers. Her eyes are closed, giving her a serene, dreamy, or bashful expression.
This piece, with its delicate details and colorful iridescence, is a fine example of decorative ceramic figures popular in the mid-20th century. It would make an elegant addition to any collection of vintage porcelain ladies.
