Der künstlerisch überzeugende "Ruhende Elefant" gehört wegen seiner technisch schwierig herzustellenden, monumentalen Dimensionen zu den überaus seltenen Großfiguren aus der Meissener Manufaktur. Max Esser schuf in der Pfeifferzeit eine Reihe von Modellen für ausdrucksvolle Tierfiguren im Art Déco-Stil, die sowohl in Porzellan als auch in Böttgersteinzeug ausgeführt wurden. Der große Elefant konnte auch mit einer großen Schale auf dem Rücken geliefert werden. Vgl. Marusch-Krohn, Meissen Pfeifferzeit, S. 105ff.; Katalog Bröhan-Museum, V/2, Nr. 92.
