I have looked through various Walther catalogues from 1936 to 1965 and as as expected I did not find it there. I can see why some may consider it is Walther but for reasons that I cant quite explain it is in many ways quite unlike the Walther images..... yours are a bit freer in their movement..... it brings to mind a painting by Franz Von Stuck called Springtime Dance... and a couple of others.. which I'm afraid the gnawing of tempus fugit has obscured the titles of.
The style and the subject looks 1920's/30's but could also be post ww11 judging by the finish of the glass........ Unfortunately therefore still a mystery.

regards
