Tänzerin, H 29 cm

The way her fingers gently cup the rose blossom captures such a quiet, focused pause. The porcelain feels smooth and substantial, not delicate like I feared. This piece truly is a beautiful example of Emil Börner's work.

The delicate rose blossom she holds adds such a graceful touch, and the porcelain has a soft, warm glow in natural light. It arrived carefully packed and looks even more elegant in person than the photos showed.

The way her pose captures that exact moment of inner stillness before movement is remarkable for a piece over a century old. Even at 29 cm tall, she feels substantial and elegant on the shelf, and the flower detail draws the eye every time I walk past.
