Single Figurines Donkey Boettger Stoneware

"Make way, here comes the animal sculptor Erich Oehme" - with these words the sculptor once demanded admission to the Dresden Zoo. In view of the fantastic animal sculptures with which the artist realized his craft with loving attention to detail, we can confidently forgive his extravagance.

The figure "Donkey" (1942) shows an adorable donkey foal. The deep devotion and love for the craft can be felt in every detail of the sculpture. Exhausted from its adventures, the young animal needs to rest. Here, the velvety cooper stoneware supports the matte elegance and perfection that this delightful figure exudes. Clear lines and fine details give the cooper stoneware sculpture liveliness and dynamic.
