Anyone who visits the Free State of Bavaria is of course under the protection of the Bavarian lion. Which is why guests are often presented with a symbolic porcelain patron from the Manufactory’s workshops. It was no different in the days of kings and princes. The selection of lion figurines ranges from humorous to heraldic, and from gentle to growling. This contemporary model is by Anton Hörl, a master of the figurine department at Nymphenburg.
