More information
This exquisite Art Deco porcelain figurine, created by Dorothea Charol for Rosenthal in Bavaria, c. 1925, exemplifies the sculptural clarity, dynamism, and refined elegance that define the finest European works of the period.
As a master interpreter of the female form, Charol infused her figures with a poised vitality that reflects the modernist ideals of the Art Deco era. In this Art Deco porcelain figurine, the sculptor captures a moment of rhythmic motion — graceful, balanced, and architecturally composed.
Known among collectors as “Spring Dancer”, the figure portrays a young woman mid-movement, her arms lifted in a gesture of lightness and fluidity. The modeling is crisp and harmonious, with delicate transitions along the drapery and limbs.
The porcelain surface is embellished with hand-applied gold floral accents, executed with precision and restraint, enhancing the visual rhythm characteristic of the period’s finest sculptural porcelain.
The base bears the embossed signature “D. Charol” and the green “Rosenthal Bavaria” mark (1923–1927), together with model no. 211 — authentic identifiers confirming both origin and date within the most desirable years of Rosenthal’s Art Deco production. These marks position the piece within the celebrated collaboration between Dorothea Charol and Rosenthal, whose combined output is considered one of the defining achievements of German Art Deco porcelain.
Condition: Excellent. No chips, cracks, restorations, or structural imperfections. The glaze retains its original luminosity, and the gilding is exceptionally well preserved — characteristics that elevate the work to museum-grade condition and make it a significant acquisition for advanced collectors.
