Lot 517 | Seltene monumentale Figur "Adler mit Schlange"
Estimate value
€ 9 000 – 18 000
Seltene monumentale Figur "Adler mit Schlange". Hoher, karger Felssockel, belegt mit wenigen grünen, plastischen Pflanzen. Am Rand stehender Adler in grau-gelb und schwarz staffiertem Gefieder, den Kopf gesenkt, auf die vor ihm steil nach oben gerichtete Schlange richtend. Farbkräftige, polychrome Aufglasurmalerei. Minim. best./rest.; Entw. Arthur Storch, 1921. Entw.-Monogr. "ASt"; Minim. best.; Manufakturmarke. H. 62,5 cm.
Das Modell entstand im Zusammenhang mit der berühmten Gruppe von 16 monumentalen Tierplastiken der Modelleure Hugo Meisel und Arthur Storch, mit der die Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur 1921 großes Aufsehen erregte, als diese unter Leitung des Architekten Hans Poelzig maßgeblich an der Ausgestaltung des erstmals als Messehaus genutzten "Porzellan-Palais" in Leipzig beteiligt war. Aufgrund ihrer außergewöhnlichen Größe stellte die Herstellung eine besondere, technische Herausforderung dar. Noch heute gelten diese als Meisterstücke "künstlerischer und technischer Kunstfertigkeit". Sie sind in nur geringer Serie von schätzungsweise kaum mehr als 10 Ausformungen je Modell hergestellt worden.
