Als Schüler August Gauls avancierte Max Esser zu den führenden Tierplastikern zur Zeit Pfeiffers. Er begann seine Karriere zunächst bei den Schwarzburger Werkstätten bevor er ab 1919 als freischaffender Künstler für die nächsten Jahre bei der Manufaktur in Meissen tätig war. Darüber hinaus führte er dort ab 1923 ein sog. Meisteratelier.
Esser schuf für die Manufaktur über 100 Entwürfe. Um seine Tierplastiken so naturgetreu wie möglich darstellen zu können, führten ihn Studien regelmäßig in den Berliner Zoo
