German Dancing Figurines

By nickylew42, 8 June, 2017
Description

These two dancing figurines were acquired by my Grandmother in 1960s Germany. They both have clear identifying markers on the bottom. The first reads, "Germany/Dresden" and the number 333 (maybe 1 or L?). The other reads, "Alka Dresden Melodie Germany" and the number 0.

Re: German Dancing Figurines

These are what's called "Dresden Lace Figurines" ,Dresden Germany being a major center of porcelain production. Figures like these were made in huge numbers for the pre and post ware North American market, so values are modest for the majority of them. Comparable figures in undamaged condition often sell at auction online for less than $50.00
