About the Item

This gorgeous porcelain sculpture from Hutschenreuther porcelain is of two galloping horses, sculpted in exquisite detail and signed by the sculptor, Max Hermann Fritz. Max Hermann Fritz, or MH Fritz, was born in 1873 in Neuhaus and studied under Lorenz Hutschenreuther. He was a sculptor and medallist know for sculpting religious subjects, figures, animals. funerary monuments, and porcelain designs. He moved to Dresden in 1898 where he did much of his most well-known work such as his numerous sculptures he did for Hartau Church. In the realm of porcelain creations he sculpted many pieces for Royal Porcelain Manufactory Meissen (Hutschenreuther) in Fraureuth and for the Porcelain Manufactory Rosenthal. Many of his works are exhibited in museums in Dresden and elsewhere in Saxony, including four putti made of shell limestone in the rose garden on the banks of the Neustadt Elbe. Fritz died in 1948, Hutschenreuther porcelain is famous all over the world. Founded in 1814 by the family patriarch, Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther, Hutschenreuther porcelain has remained within the family for nearly two hundred years. He employed artists, craftsmen, and sculptors from all over continental Europe. Hutschenreuther focused on quality and design. Lorenz Hutschenreuther, Carolus’ son, opened in 1857 another porcelain factory in the Bavarian town of Selb. The Selb factory was so well managed that it was able to compete with famous British porcelain brands. These two companies would eventually merge back into each other in the 20th century.

Dan Dailey : Daum Figurative Glass Sculpture "Les Danseurs (The Dancers)"
By Daum
Located in Detroit, MI
"Les Danseurs" (French for "The Dancers") is a 1979 collaboration between Daum and artist Dan Dailey. This glass figurative sculpture of two dancers, a man and a woman coated in an icy blue palate, was created with glass paste blown in a light blue mold and etched on the external surface. This work is numbered 57 from an edition of 200, signed on the sculpture in diamond-point with "D Dailey" and "DAUM FRANCE" and is included with a certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by Daum and Dan Dailey. Dan Dailey is an American glass artist who was born in Philadelphia in 1947. He emerged from the Studio Glass movement that was founded by Harvey Lilleton and collaborated with Crisallerie Daum for more than twenty years. His education includes studying under Roland Jahn and Harvey Lilleton at the Philadelphia College of Art in the 1960s and a teaching fellowship at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1970 where he also became Dale Chihuly's first graduate student He is professor emeritus at the Massachusetts College of Art where he founded their glass program. His work has been exhibited and collected all over the world, spanning over a hundred exhibitions and collections. The studio of Daum is a name that precedes itself. The only crystal manufacturer employing the glass paste process for art glass, the studio was founded in 1878 by the Daum family in Nancy, France. The studio has become synonymous with the Art Nouveau period but continues to produce high end and high quality decorative art to this very day.

John Albert Murphy Porcelain "Dark Days Ahead" Sculptural Nested Bowls
Located in Detroit, MI
"Dark Days Ahead" is in fact a glorious paper-thin porcelain sculpture with fluted sides. The "two bowls and one ball" are nestled and permanently fixed. The black and white linear design to the porcelain is relieved by the movement of the fluted sides of the "bowls." This complex design is both light and airy while being visually weighted by the innermost "ball" being covered in a silver glaze suggesting heavy stainless steel. The ceramic piece is slip cast porcelain, masking tape stenciled and glazed in the style of abstract expressionism, specifically Pointillism.  It was fired in oxidation at 2230 degrees Fahrenheit.  The sphere in the center has luster glaze. John Albert Murphy...
