The Manufactory’s strengths stem not just from its successful past, but also from its willingness to give contemporary designers a chance to express themselves. This parity still shapes the character of the product range today. In the early 1990s, Anton Hörl added further motifs to the family of Bavarian lions. In this model, the majestic heraldic animal is sitting on a circular base. The lion’s full mane falls neatly behind its head, and it is holding the blue and white escutcheon with both front paws.
