Vintage Mid-Century Ucagco Porcelain Spinning Ballerina Figurine For Sale

Vintage Mid-Century Ucagco Porcelain Spinning Ballerina Figurine

This is a beautiful, highly collectible vintage mid-century Ucagco porcelain spinning ballerina figurine in great condition. This exquisite piece features a delicate blonde ceramic ballerina suspended inside a large, elaborately detailed floral archway arbor.

Unlike many examples found today, this piece is 100% complete and fully operational. The ballerina hangs perfectly from her original top metal loop and spins/twirls smoothly within her floral frame.

Condition Details:

Porcelain & Ceramic Structure: This figurine is in 99% perfect condition. As the pictures show, there is one minor flaw to the left wrist. It appears that some time ago the hand was reapplied with glue. They did a pretty terrific job considering I didn’t even notice it until I took this out to sell. The price is reflective of the imperfection.

Pristine Applied Flowers: All dimensional, encrusted ceramic flowers and green leaves are completely intact with no broken petals or fleabites.

Vibrant Turquoise Tulle Tutu: The "Dresden-style" fabric tutu is clean, beautifully colored, and free of the typical fraying, tearing, or dry-rotting common with age.

Gold Trim: The elegant hand-painted gold gilt scrollwork accents along the base and arch show zero wear and shine brilliantly.

Dimensions (Approximate):

Overall Floral Frame: 6.5" TallInner Ballerina: 5.5" Tall

This mid-century beauty mimics classic European Dresden lace porcelain and makes a perfect addition to any vintage figurine collection, vanity display, or retro bedroom decor.

I absolutely loved this item. I originally saw it 6 months before I bought it hoping it was still where I originally found it. To my delight, it was still there and I have loved it ever since. I hope to find someone that will too!

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for viewing.
