Exclusive Collection Falcon white Max Esser

The porcelain figurine Falcon by Max Esser made of Meissen porcelain is a masterpiece that impressively embodies the artisan excellence and aesthetic sophistication of this renowned porcelain manufactory.
The falcon, a symbol of strength, freedom and elegance, is depicted in this figure with impressive precision and realism. Each feather, the curved talons and the proud gaze of the falcon are a testament to the outstanding craftsmanship that characterizes Meissner Porcelain.
This high quality porcelain figurine of the falcon tells of the beauty and majestic grace of these birds of prey. Falcons are often seen as symbols of determination and precision, and this figurine pays tribute to those qualities.
It is appreciated not only as a decorative work of art, but also as a symbol of admiration for nature and appreciation of its creatures. Designed by Max Esser, this Meissen porcelain figurine reminds us of the harmonious connection between man and animal and the sublime beauty found in nature. In a departure from some of his most familiar figures such as his "Seagull" swooping down onto a frothing wave, Esser did not portray his falcon in motion. Instead, he devoted himself entirely to the bird's incredible energy and physical tension in this instance, qualities it exudes even when in the stationary state. Inert, its eyes firmly fixed on some object in the distance.

Esser had his own studio in the Manufactory from 1919 and was appointed head of the master studio in 1923. He had a penchant for portraying animals in a slightly stylised manner. His work was notable for the dynamic way in which he switched between decorative and naturalistic modes of rendition, between flowing surfaces and realistically executed points of detail, in the course of capturing for all eternity a single dramatic moment in an animal's life.
