About the Item
Exquisite 1920s Art Deco Porcelain Vanity Box – Elegant Woman Figurine, Germany
This rare and stunning Art Deco porcelain vanity box from the 1920s captures the elegance and glamour of the era with exceptional craftsmanship and timeless style. The box is sculpted in the form of an elegant woman figurine, embodying the chic, modern femininity of the Jazz Age.
She wears a classic short black bob hairstyle, iconic of the period, and strikes a graceful, demure pose — her head gently tilted downward and to the side, with her long, delicate neck and arms crossed gracefully at the nape. Her serene expression is finely detailed, with painted black eyes and eyebrows, soft rosy cheeks, and beautifully shaped 1920s red lips that give her a lifelike presence.
The upper portion of the vanity box forms her gown — a strapless, cascading design in soft white porcelain, richly embellished with flowing burgundy-trimmed ruffles. These ruffles lift away to reveal the lower portion of the box: a simple, elegant cylindrical base in deep cobalt blue glaze.
Stamped "Germany" with model number 2840/4 clearly marked on the underside, this piece is a true collectible example of 1920s German porcelain figurines. It is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or paint loss. The only note is minor natural irregularities in the blue glaze on the base, typical of handmade vintage porcelain.
A perfect piece for collectors of Art Deco vanity items, porcelain figurine boxes, or antique dresser accessories, this graceful beauty is as functional as she is decorative — ideal for storing jewelry, trinkets, or simply as a show-stopping display piece.

1930's German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll
Located in Red Lion, PA
Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle
This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak.
Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair.
What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century.
