An original German porcelain figurine depicting a sitting bear cub in a lifelike, naturalistic pose.
Produced by the exclusive Allach manufactory, which operated under the direct supervision of Heinrich Himmler, giving it high historical significance.
Model number 6 (Bär, sitzend) designed by Prof. Theodor Kärner, the most prominent animal sculptor associated with the Allach works.
This is a rare color-painted version—the porcelain features hand-painted underglaze tones of brown and beige, enhancing the realistic appearance of the cub.
The figurine is characterized by its high-gloss glaze and impeccable anatomical precision, from the fur texture to the detailed eyes and claws.
Preserved in very fine collector's condition, with vibrant colors and an intact porcelain structure, showing no signs of professional repair.
Historical Context
The Allach Porcelain Manufactory was an artistic and ideological venture aimed at producing the "finest German porcelain" to serve as a new aesthetic standard. Kärner’s animal figurines were the manufactory's flagship products, celebrated for their masterful blend of natural observation and artistic skill. Painted versions were produced in significantly smaller quantities than plain white ones, making them a rare find today. Allach porcelain was primarily distributed as prestigious gifts for state and military officials, which ensures its high status among modern collector
