Vintage Hutschenreuther China Porcelain “Ballerina” Figurine by Carl Werner

Porcelain

 

Submitted for your consideration is a gorgeous porcelain Hutschenreuther model of a “Prima Ballerina” by the talented artist Carl Werner (1895-1980) a former head of the art department at this highly respected company. Hutschenreuther is the name of the family that established the production of fine china in Northern Bavaria, in 1814. Hutschenreuther was a trendsetter and enabled Germany to gain an excellent reputation in the European china industry. The Hutschenreuther "Mark of the Lion" is a symbol of excellence that continues to this day, though, since 2000, it is little more than a trademark of Rosenthal.

Please note how this wonderful figurine exemplifies grace and elegance through the vision of this stunning dancer. The beautiful woman is shown in a classic ballet pose, lifted upon her toes. Her hands are in a traditional position and her body is transformed into an image of poised movement. The piece measures 8.5” by 4.75” and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines or crazing. Hutschenreuther used the mark on the bottom from 1955 until 1968 so this artwork is well over 40 years old. What an impressive display piece this would make in any fine home and we can offer it for $650.00
