This is a really exceptional porcelain piece. The colors are bright and vibrant, the condition is near mint, I don't think it was ever used. No cracks, no chips, no damage or repairs. The bottom is stamped '280', 'Made in France', and 'Birks' . Birk's of Canada was a very high end department store. Known as 'The Pride of Canada', it was renowned for it's top quality items. There's also an artist's signature on the back of the figure's skirt, I believe it's 'Liane' or 'Liene'. This is obviously a very high quality piece, and some 70 or 80 years later it's still very beautiful and very stylish, having lost none of it's deco charm. I don't expect this one to last long, so don't hesitate!
