Figurine Lamb

This delicate figure of a lamb, made from traditional Böttger stoneware, is a fine example of the masterful craftsmanship of the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. With a height of 14 cm, a width of 17 cm, and a depth of 6.5 cm, the figure impresses with its understated presence and precision craftsmanship.

The material-Böttger stoneware-dates back to Johann Friedrich Böttger, the co-inventor of European porcelain. It is one of the earliest ceramic developments from the founding period of the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory around 1710. The deep brown, almost metallic surface of the stoneware gives the figurine a special feel and an elegant simplicity reminiscent of bronze sculptures.

Modelled by hand in a complex process, the lamb shows fine details in its posture and coat structure. The Meissen porcelain figurine thrives on the play of light and shadow on its unglazed surface-a sign of the highest level of craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity.

The lamb symbolizes innocence, gentleness, and peace. In combination with the historical material of Böttger stoneware, it becomes an art object with cultural significance-an expression of classic design language in a modern interpretation.
