Ballerina balancing on one foot figurine

Question:
A friend of mine has a Red Wing art ware piece. I have researched it on the web and have had so luck. It is antique white matte glaze. There is a figure of a ballerina with a long skirt, balancing on one foot with the other extended up into the air. There is a frog base under the dancer. This piece sits in a vase bowl of matching glaze. It is eleiptical in shape and several of the edges curl inward. Red Wing is on the bottom of the bowl piece. I have seen the same type of frog vase style with the deer in the center and the incised brown on the carving of the turned outward edges of the bowl. This piece has no contrasting glaze on it. Sorry I do not have a picture to show you. Thank you, Kathy

Answer: Hi Kathy

I think you have the console bowl for the deer frog, but I don’t recognize the figural form you speak of. It could be another companies, I’m nto sure. A pic would be most helpful if you could get me one. thanks, steve n rose
