A statuette depicting a costumed female dancer was originally published in clear white porcelain. Later, a color version was produced with much hand-painted detail such as the facial features and decorative embroidery designs appearing on the figure's clothing.

However, a mere change in coloration apart from any original artwork would not support registration, such as, a change in the color combination of the dancer's skirt from blue and gold to red and yellow.
