HUTSCHENREUTHER PORCELAIN COMPOSITION "DOLPHINS" LIMITED EDITION COLLECTIBLE C. 1968 :: NO RESERVE :: ITEMDESCRIPTION This is a genuine limited edition porcelain composition designed by Gunther R. Granget , considered one of the most talented artists designing for German porcelain manufacturer Lorenz Hutschenreuther of Selb. The young sculptor joined their team in 1956. Having received his training under Carl Werner and Karl Tutter, he devoted his energies mainly to creation of animal figurines and compositions. Grangetâe(tm)s motiefs, artistic expression, and exceptional ability as a craftsman lent the collection new, internationally recognized inspiration. From 1984 until his retirement in 1996, Gunther R. Granget was head of the Hutschenreuther artistic department. This piece is truly unique. The size, the complexity, and the wooden base distinguish the statue from comparable porcelain compositions. The piece stands at 15 inches overall hight, 13 of which is the composition and 2 is the base, and is over 25 inches wide. A group of five dolphins is captured interlocked in their jump. The bisque porcelain used in this composition gives the dolphins a smooth yet velvety look that invites an onlooker's touch. The craftsmanship of this piece is extraordinarily realistic - dolphins are almost flying into the air, exuberant and free.
