Vintage Porcelain Rotating Ballerina Musical Figurine

This item is a vintage porcelain musical figurine depicting a graceful female dancer or ballerina in a mid-movement pose, likely from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The figurine is constructed from high-glaze ceramic or porcelain, featuring a vibrant orange and apricot color palette on the bodice and flowing skirt. The dancer's face is rendered with minimalist hand-painted details, characteristic of mid-century mass-produced decorative arts. The underside reveals a mechanical music box movement housed within the base, attached via screws, with a rotating plastic or resin pedestal that allows the figure to spin while the music plays. In terms of condition, the porcelain appears intact with no visible major cracks or chips in the main body, though the base shows minor yellowing of the plastic and light surface dust consistent with age. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production, possibly from a Japanese or European manufacturer common in the post-war era. The flowing, ruffled edges of the dress and the dynamic positioning of the arms indicate a focus on kinetic aesthetics. There are no clearly visible maker's marks from this angle, but the assembly style is typical of giftware from the 1960s.
