Circus Equestrian Artiste

Peter Strang's circus figures in Meissen porcelain are an extraordinary tribute to the vibrant world of the circus-full of movement, humor, and emotion. In his unmistakable, expressive formal style, Strang created a series of imaginative characters: acrobats, clowns, animal trainers, and musicians who, despite their sometimes exaggerated proportions, appear strikingly alive.

Each porcelain figure is a handcrafted masterpiece, meticulously painted and enriched with loving details that reveal Strang's refined sense of theatrical staging and human idiosyncrasies. The MEISSEN figures radiate a poetic lightness and today are among the most celebrated works of the long-serving chief sculptor of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. They unite traditional porcelain craftsmanship with contemporary expressiveness and are regarded as collectors' pieces of exceptional artistic value.
