Dancer with bikini and skirt held to dance with floral pattern, on black oval base. The model for this figure was probably the actress Lida Baarova (real name Ludmilla Babkova, 1914-2000), who became famous in Germany for her film "Barcarole" (1935) and for a love affair with Joseph Goebbels. Because of the latter, she was expelled back to Czechoslovakia by Adolf Hitler in 1938. Although Baarova had dark hair, the manufactory designed the figure with light hair, as this seemed more in line with the "German taste of the time". Probably retouched burn crack on the neck, right ankle with fine crack, left shoe with glaze crack, left finger with small glaze chip.
