Historical context:
Designed in the 1960s, this gazelle group reflects the pinnacle of Günther Granget’s career at Hutschenreuther. Granget was famous for his ability to translate the raw energy of nature into the delicate medium of porcelain. This specific model is a collector's favorite due to its impressive size (approx. 44 cm long) and the technical achievement of balancing such a large group on a single, slender point of contact.
