Exclusive Collection Toucan

The bird figurine "Pepper Eater" is an exclusively available work of art by the modeller Paul Walther. Made in 1919, it joins the long tradition of animal depictions in Meissen porcelain art. The South American bird from the toucan family is artistically decorated by hand and still enriches the exclusive collection of the manufactory. The animal modeler covered the sculpture in realistic style with a colorful staffage, which reflects the reveries of an exotic distance. Such motifs are still among the most intense and versatile sources of inspiration for Meissen's artists. Standing 47 centimeters tall, this hand-painted bird figurine made of the finest porcelain is an imposing display of the manufactorists' artistry. Part of a multi-faceted collection of artwork, this figurine is available exclusively to you. An impressive work of art that combines traditional needlework techniques and the magic of a distant world in hand-painted decorated porcelain.
