Paul Walther, born in Meissen, was one of the most productive and successful animal
potterers at the Meissen porcelain manufactory. A pupil of Erich Hösel, he attended the
manufactury's drawing school in 1891 and then trained as a potter and porcelain former.
After working in both trades for a while, he began designing animal figures in 1904. His practical experience in the craft meant that he was very familiar with the material and its possibilities. This is evident in his distinctive, dynamic style of modelling.
