Dear Mike,
That's a beautiful Nymphenburg Schäferhund, easy to see how this form evolved into the great example that he put together for Allach a bit later on. The major difference between the two is the positioning of the animal's forelegs.
The soft, pastel-like colors are really nice on your example, too. I believe yours to be a
pre-'45 model.
I really like the group shot of him with your Amsel, bear and maiden - pretty as a picture!
And a great Art Deco Meissen squirrel made out of Böttger Steinzeug, a extra treat to see.
I have my own ceramic-stone Deco example of a small rabbit or hare, only about a third of the size of your fine squirrel.
Thanks for posting the nice shots, hope you'll find and share more with us.
Hummingbird - I agree the old man was one of the best in his field. But that doesn't mean there weren't others who were just as good - plenty in fact! I just think he was slightly more consistent than almost all the other greats.
Let's see if I can find that "wily-Wabbit.."
Best!
Bill
