This detailed porcelain figurine from the 1970s depicts an elegant lady and her gentleman drinking tea. The scene is lovingly crafted: The lady sits in a fine armchair, a small poodle at her feet, while the gentleman sits on a stool. Between them stands a delicate brown table with a tea service.
Particularly impressive are the fine porcelain lace on the skirt and ruffles, which impressively reflect the craftsmanship.Whether as an eye-catcher in a display case, as a decorative highlight on the shelf or as a gift for collectors – this figure adds a touch of nostalgic elegance to any room.

Analysis of the porcelain figure:
Painting & Colors: The pastel tones (light blue, red, green) and the relatively thick application of paint suggest the second half of the 20th century.
Porcelain lace: This technique was particularly popular with East German porcelain (Thuringia, Volkstedt, Unterweißbach) and Italian manufacturers (Capodimonte) in the 1960s–1980s.
Style & workmanship: Very decorative, but not as finely and hand-painted as early manufactory works (e.g. Dresden or Meissen).
