Single Figurines Spring, Boettger Stoneware

The female figure "Allegory of Spring" by Robert Ullmann is an outstanding example of expressive form and artistic refinement from the Meissen manufactory. The figure embodies the lightness, freshness, and renewal of spring in an elegant, dynamic pose - a symbol of vitality and new beginnings.

Crafted from Böttger stoneware, a robust reddish-brown clay known for its exceptional hardness, the figure demonstrates Meissen's unmistakable quality and attention to detail. Böttger stoneware was developed in the early 18th century by Johann Friedrich Böttger and is considered a cornerstone of European porcelain production. Its fine-grained structure and high durability make it ideal for intricately modeled figures, allowing even the most delicate details to be preserved and highlighted.

The artist Robert Ullmann (1896-1978) was one of the leading sculptors of the 20th century to collaborate with MEISSEN. Renowned for his harmonious blend of movement, expression, and meticulous detailing, Ullmann brought his figures to life with poetic elegance. Each pose, fold of clothing, and facial expression tells its own story - as vividly seen in the "Allegory of Spring."

This artwork is not merely a decorative figure but a masterpiece that unites craftsmanship, artistic vision, and Meissen's rich tradition in a harmonious whole.
