This 1970 Schaubach Kunst porcelain vase shows off a rich coral red body under a tall white neck, trimmed with a neat gold rim. The front carries a hand-painted floral in white, black, and gold; the contrast is sharp and the gilding still lively. It’s in very good vintage condition with a glossy glaze, no chips or cracks noted, and only faint shelf wear on the base from age. Display it solo as a statement piece, or drop in a few long stems—the narrow mouth and rounded, weighty shape make arranging simple.

Schaubach Kunst was a Thuringian porcelain maker celebrated for elegant modeling and lush glazes. After the war it operated in East Germany and developed close ties with the historic Wallendorf factory, founded in 1764, so some later pieces show both names. The coral red ground with generous gilding is typical of their mid‑century taste for vivid color on fine, resonant porcelain. Collectors look for crisp painting, bright gold, and clean white interiors as signs of quality. Care is easy: mild soap, a soft cloth, and no abrasives on the gilt. These vases blend classic floral themes with a bold modern palette, suiting both traditional and mid‑century rooms beautifully.

This lovely piece is a Wallendorf Ballerina Porcelain Figurine, produced around the year 1970. Standing about 8 inches tall, 7 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, it features an elegant ballerina sitting gracefully, caught in a moment of refinement as she admires herself in a hand mirror. The delicate ruffles of her dress and the gentle details in her pose show off the level of craftsmanship that’s made these figurines so admired among collectors. The soft colors, light gold accents, and her gentle expression all add to the timeless charm. Even decades after it was made, this figurine is still in near mint condition, making it even more special for anyone who comes across it today. For anyone who enjoys a touch of vintage decor, this is a truly eye-catching item that brings elegance into any space.

Pieces like this come out of the Wallendorf and Schaubach Kunst porcelain traditions, both legendary names in the world of fine European ceramics. Wallendorf, with a history dating way back to 1764 in Germany, is one of the world’s oldest porcelain manufacturers. By the mid-20th century, the company was turning out figurines like this ballerina, celebrated for their lifelike poses and artistic detail. The figurines from Wallendorf and Schaubach Kunst, especially those from the 1950s to 1970s, are now seen as vintage treasures—harder to come by in such great shape. Collectors love them not just for their beauty but for the skill and artistry behind each piece. Today, these figurines are often passed down through families, treasured as reminders of classic style and old-world craftsmanship that’s become quite rare. Having a piece like this is like holding onto a bit of history.
