In 1978, Jörg Danielczyk recounts, the master model maker asked who would like to model a horse. The master's gaze met him and so he modelled a horse. But not just any animal, but Halla, a Hessian mare who, together with Hans Günter Winkler, won gold several times at the Summer Olympics. The horse in clay succeeds excellently and Peter Strang once again becomes aware of him. At that time, Peter Strang was one of the most important artists at the manufactory. Together with the painter Heinz Werner and the designer Ludwig Zepner, he had founded the "Kollektiv Künstlerische Entwicklung" (Artistic Development Collective) in 1960. Jörg Danielczyk is allowed into the Strang apprenticeship, learns, works hard and one day is sent by his master to study at the art academy in the evening. In 1983, Jörg Danielczyk graduates as a sculptor and becomes the new artistic director of the manufactory and in 1985, the manufactory finally sends him to study again, this time in Halle at Burg Giebichenstein, where he receives his diploma as a designer in 1989.
Jörg Danielczyk never tires of explaining the peculiarities of porcelain. With a reverence for this special material, he knows how to explore its limits and possibilities and, in doing so, to penetrate into new spheres again and again. The manufactory owes Jörg Danielczyk not only great works of art. Collectors all over the world associate his name with captivating beauty and the highest filigree, immortalised in brilliant Meissen porcelain. Highlights of his work are numerous: in 1998, MEISSEN produced wafer-thin sequins and buttons in porcelain for Karl Lagerfeld. A dress studded with thousands of Meissen sequins is created and when it is presented at one of the haute couture fashion shows, Jörg Danielczyk sits in. His bald eagle, one metre high and weighing 40 kilograms, has stood in the foyer of the United States Embassy in Berlin since 2008, a commission from then Ambassador William Timken. "Saxonia", the largest free-standing figurine made of porcelain, on whose clay model Danielczky worked for over half a year, was unveiled in 2014. Daring the seemingly impossible and testing new limits, inspired by the beauty of life - that is the motto that has accompanied Danielczyk throughout his life.
