This delicate little ballerina toy seems to have flown straight off the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre. Its diaphanous dress and tiny ballet shoes, have been made by the skilled hands of a Petersburg seamstress. The porcelain face has been carefully painted by hand, ensuring the uniqueness of each toy. Such toys would have been given to friends and relatives in Imperial Russia as Christmas presents. Even today, this exquisite little toy will make a cute gift and a lovely expression of your feelings.
