Lot 522 | Seltene monumentale Figur "Fisch"
Estimate value
€ 9 000 – 18 000
Seltene monumentale Figur "Fisch". Auf stilisiertem Sockel über hoher, aufschäumender Welle, in nahezu senkrechter Haltung dargestellter Karpfenfisch mit weit geöffnetem, spitzzahnigem Maul. Farbkräftig akzentuierte, polychrome Malerei in Gelb und Blau sowie Eisenrot. Entw. Hugo Meisel. Entw.-Monogr. "HM." mit Dat. 1921. Fischmaul rest.; Manufakturmarke. H. 79 cm.
Der Entwurf des Fischs gehört zu einer bedeutenden Gruppe von insgesamt 16 monumentalen Tierfiguren und Fabelwesen nach Modellen Arthur Storchs und Hugo Meisels. Von der Aeltesten Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur wurden sie 1921 mit aufsehenerregendem Prestige-Erfolg erstmals zur Leipziger Frühjahrsmesse im "Porzellan-Palais" gezeigt. Aufgrund ihrer außergewöhnlichen Größe stellte die Herstellung eine besondere technische Herausforderung dar, wodurch die Figuren nur in Kleinserie von schätzungsweise kaum mehr als 10 Exemplaren je Modell ausgeformt wurden. Seit den Meissener Großfiguren J. G. Kirchners und J. J. Kaendlers für August den Starken hatte niemand mehr den Versuch gewagt, derartige Leistungen "künstlerischer und technischer Kunstfertigkeit" zu schaffen.
