This piece is a Heinz Schaubach Ballerina Art Deco porcelain figurine from around 1980, measuring about 10.5 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide, and 4 inches in length. Even after more than 40 years, this ballerina, with her arms gracefully raised and vintage style gown, still captures the elegance and glamour of her era. The white porcelain is detailed with a delicate blue bow, and although she’s vintage, she’s in near mint condition, making her quite a catch for any collector or art lover. You don’t come across these often in such great shape, especially considering their age and the fragility of porcelain over decades.
The Heinz Schaubach brand is known for its fine quality German porcelain art, with roots reaching back to the early 20th century. The Schaubach Kunst factory in Thuringia, Germany, became particularly famous for these kinds of art deco figurines, which were hand-painted and crafted with a real attention to expressive movement and facial detail. Collectors value these works not only for their beauty but also for their craftsmanship and the nostalgia they evoke, capturing a time when decorative figurines like this were a sign of good taste in many households. These ballerina figures are especially sought after, both because of the delicate pose and because they’re a symbol of the elegance associated with the art deco movement. Finding one from 1980, still with its original paint and intact details, is increasingly rare, making this figurine a true treasure for anyone who appreciates vintage collectibles or wants a unique, classy touch for their home.
