Dresden-style Lace Porcelain Figurine of a Lady at a Piano

This is a decorative porcelain figurine depicting an 18th-century style lady seated at a grand piano. The piece is crafted from glazed porcelain featuring the 'Dresden Lace' technique, where real lace is dipped in porcelain slip and fired to create the intricate, fabric-like ruffles on the lady's gown. The figurine is set on an ornate, scalloped base decorated with gold-gilt scrollwork and a small cluster of applied porcelain flowers. The piano is finished in a deep burgundy glaze with gold accents, supported by cabriole legs. The lady wears a black bodice and a white powdered wig styled in a high pompadour with a floral accessory. Notable features include a red crown-and-shield maker's mark on the front of the base, characteristic of 20th-century German or Japanese reproductions of Meissen/Dresden styles. The condition appears fair; while the main structure is intact, there is visible damage to the delicate porcelain lace near the hem and ruffles, which is a common fragility in these pieces. Minimal gilt wear is observed on the base. This mid-20th-century piece demonstrates moderate craftsmanship typical of decorative giftware intended to replicate the Rococo revival aesthetic.
