These ballerina's are "Dresden" types, values for them depend a great deal on their vintage and maker. Most have a maker's mark on the base from which a time of manufacture can sometimes be established.
Thank you. I am new to this site, probably obvious, and don't know how to use it to the best capacity. I have an estate to liquidate and a lot of items (from capodimonte, signed figurines, to vintage clothes, to worn deco furniture) for which estate sales agents would give me 10 cents to the dollar so I am trying to tackle myself, with a time constraint. I will look up Dresden. If you are an appraiser or do it as a hobby, can you shed any more light?
