Three German Dresden-style Porcelain Lace Figurines - A trio of porcelain figurines featuring intricate hand-applied porcelain lace-work. The group comprises a standing female figure dressed in eighteenth-century style clothing with a gold-coloured bodice and a wide, layered lace skirt decorated with applied porcelain flower heads. Also included are two ballerina figurines: one seated wearing a purple bodice and a multi-tiered white lace tutu with floral accents, and a smaller ballerina in a dance pose with a white lace tutu and gold-coloured bodice. All figures are finished with hand-painted polychrome details and glazed porcelain. The underside of the base on the standing figure features an underglaze blue mark of a crown over the letter N, alongside impressed numbers 25 and 3.
