Being immortalised in porcelain by artists at the Manufactory is also a great honour for animals. Especially such young ones as this short-haired dachshund by Konrad Schmid. Designed in 1931, it was extremely popular, both nationally and internationally. This was due on the one hand to the dog’s unmistakeable characteristic expression, and on the other the true-to-life portrayal. The range of colours used in underglaze painting is already so extensive that specifically in the shading of animal figurines, the artists were able to create a unique tonal richness in the coat and feathers.
