Vintage Paul Sebastian Porcelain Ballet Figure. Measures about 5" in height by 7.75" wide. Very good condition. Has one spot that feels rough but doesn't seem chipped, flaw maybe.
Add a touch of classical grace to your decor with this vintage Paul Sebastian porcelain ballet figurine. Paul Sebastian, a name often associated with refined giftware and luxury fragrances, produced a celebrated line of fine porcelain collectibles in the late 20th century that captured the quiet beauty of the performing arts. This piece, measuring approximately 5 inches in height and 7.75 inches wide, features two dancers in a moment of post-performance reflection. The matte bisque finish provides a soft, ethereal quality to the porcelain, highlighting the delicate folds of the tutus and the serene expressions of the dancers. This "romantic era" aesthetic was a hallmark of the 1980s and 90s revival of Victorian-style interior accents.
The figurine is in very good condition, retaining its clean, crisp white and pastel color palette. Upon close inspection, there is one small spot on the porcelain that feels slightly rough to the touch; however, it does not appear to be a chip and is likely a character mark or a minor firing flaw from the original manufacturing process. For the modern home, this piece is a perfect addition to a "coquette" vanity, a "shabby chic" bedroom, or a "grandmillennial" curio cabinet. Its horizontal orientation makes it an ideal choice for a bookshelf or a narrow mantelpiece where it can serve as a tranquil focal point. Whether you are a lover of the dance, a collector of Paul Sebastian porcelain, or searching for a timeless gift for a young ballerina, this figurine is a beautiful celebration of artistry and poise.
