This description concerns a refined porcelain statuette depicting a pair of young crouched hares, created by the renowned German manufactory Rosenthal, specifically by the artistic section of Selb. This piece stands out for its naturalistic modeling and for the underglaze decoration, handmade with delicate shades of gray and white.

In 1879, returning from a sojourn in the United States, Philipp Rosenthal decides to open a workshop for porcelain decoration in Erkersreuth, near Selb, in Bavaria. In 1907 the company begins to mark every product with its own name. The following year Rosenthal acquires Thomas, a brand later aimed at a younger audience. Being Jewish, Philipp Rosenthal faced pressure from the Nazis and in 1934 he relinquishes control of the company, which nevertheless continued to expand during both World War I and World War II.

In 1950 his son Philip took the helm of the company, which in 1961 inaugurated Rosenthal Studio-Line, a brand dedicated to projects and collaborations with renowned artists, architects and designers.

In 1993 the Rosenthal meets Versace line was inaugurated.

In 1997 Rosenthal AG was acquired by Waterford Wedgwood, which in 2003 acquired the Hutschenreuther brand, founded in 1814.
