Hollohaza Hungary Girl With Pillow Hand Painted Porcelain Figurine Pillow Dancer
Beautiful vintage Hollóháza hand-painted porcelain figurine from Hungary, depicting a graceful young woman in traditional Hungarian folk costume holding a floral pillow above her head. This charming figure is often referred to by collectors as a Girl With Pillow, Pillow Dancer, or Hungarian Folk Dancer figurine. She features an elegant elongated form with raised arms, a serene hand-painted face, and a wonderfully decorative costume in white and aqua/turquoise with colorful floral detailing.
The figurine is richly accented with:
- a floral-painted pillow
- a fitted white bodice with delicate flower motifs
- a turquoise skirt with stylized decorative speckled floral accents
- a white apron with hand-painted floral design
- a matching folk-art look throughout the piece
The underside bears the green Hollóháza Hungary Handpainted 1831 backstamp. The 1831 in the mark refers to the historic Hollóháza factory tradition and pattern/backstamp usage, not the exact year this figurine was made.
This piece is a wonderful example of Hungarian folk-art porcelain and displays beautifully in a cabinet, on a shelf, or as part of a European porcelain or folk-art collection.
