Gräfenthal 1900’s Rare Vintage Dancing Couple hotsell Porcelain Figurine

This Gräfenthal Dancing Couple figurine is in near mint condition with no chips, cracks, repairs or crazing. The only sign of wear is where the glaze has lost some its high gloss look, aging very consistent with its age.

Height - 9.5cm/3.75inches
Width - 12cm/4.75inches

This rare, detailed figurine was made by Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal (Gräfenthal Porcelain Figurines), a company in Gräfenthal, East Germany.

In 1859 a predecessor company, Unger, Schneider & Co., was founded by Carl Schneider, Karl Unger, and Hermann Hutschenreuther. Unger left and started another company in 1882.

After Carl Schneider died in 1885, his son Paul continued the business with Hutschenreuther. Hutschenreuther left in 1886 and Paul renamed the company Carl Schenider's Erben (Carl Schenider's Heirs).

In 1951 the company was nationalized and became V.E.B. Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal, which continued to use some of the old molds and marks. As the backstamp on this figurine was used from 1886 to 1972, it's very difficult to date.

Items hotsell in my shop are vintage and not brand new, that's their beauty. Vintage items may show minor age-related wear or minor flaws consistent with the date of manufacture. Please check my photos carefully as they are part of the description.

I try to describe any obvious flaws but it's up to you to decide if the condition of vintage or antique offerings meets their standards. If you have any questions at all please ask.

Returns due to mentioned above minor flaws are not accepted, as this is part of the vintage charm. I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more pictures prior to purchase.

Thanks for visiting!
