Goldscheider Art Déco Figurine, 'Kiss', Posing Dancer, by Stephan Dakon, ca 1928
About the Item
Very Rare and excellent Viennese Ceramic Figure from the late 1920s:
Graceful dancer, posing with her upper body bent forward and with her eyes closed, forming her mouth into a kiss, raising the attached wings of her short blue-green dress at the back, her short dark hair covered by the matching headdress that tapers to a point at the front.
On a cream-coloured, stepped trapezoidal base with shading on the sides, the artist's signature ‘Dakon’ on the upper side behind the figure.
Compare model 5712, group ‘Turteltauben’ (turtle doves), the ‘Dolly Sisters’ cheek to cheek, here as a single figure in a modified pose.
The 'Dolly Sisters' Rosie Dolly (1892 - 1970) and Jenny Dolly (1892 - 1941), known professionally as (the) Dolly Sisters, were Hungarian-American identical twin dancers, singers and actresses, popular in vaudeville and theatre during the 1910s and 1920s. Both sisters also appeared in two silent films.

Goldscheider Art Déco Figurine 'Blonde Dream', by Stephan Dakon, ca 1935
By Goldscheider Manufactory of Vienna, Stefan Dakon
Located in Vienna, AT
Excellent art ceramic figurine from the 1930s:
Striding young lady with a cropped, delicate top and a large hat, holding up the long, wide skirt with a stylized floral pattern with both hands.
On a black oval base, artist's signature 'Dakon' on the bottom.
Based on the film 'The Blonde Dream', starring Lilian Harvey.
Lilian Harvey (1906 - 1968) was a British-German actress, singer and dancer. From 1923 she attended the ballet school of the German State Opera and received first paid appearances as a dancer in Hungary and Austria. She made a total of 12 films with Willy Fritsch, and in 1930 came the decisive breakthrough with the romantic comedy film 'Liebeswalzer'. 1931 the film 'The Congress Dances' appeared, in which she appeared in a scene 'Christels Song', better known as 'Das gibt's nur einmal' that today still exists as an Evergreen. During the Nazi era in Germany Lilian Harvey's career stopped because of her opposition to the regime and she emigrated first to southern France and then to the United States. After the war she returned to Europe and took turns living in Germany and France, where she died in 1968.
