Art deco dancer "Frasquita". Vienna manufactory Friedrich Goldscheider.
Press mark GS 19a with the addition "Made in Germany", ca. 1936-41. Embossed on the base and signed "Dakon" on the underside. Model no. 8127 103 19. design: Stephan DAKON (1904-1992), ca. 1937.
Stoneware, painted in color. H 39.5 cm.
Dancer with bikini and skirt with floral pattern held up for dancing, on a black oval base. The model for this figure was probably the actress Lida Baarova (actually Ludmilla Babkova, 1914-2000), who became famous in Germany for her film "Barcarole" (1935) and her 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 to be more in keeping with the "German taste" of the time. Probably retouched burn mark on the neck, right ankle with fine crack, left shoe with glaze crack, left finger with small glaze chip.
