This is a masterwork by Peter Strang, one of Meissen's most distinguished contemporary sculptors. Depicting the timeless narratives of Aesop's Fables—specifically "The Fox and the Crow" and "The Fox and the Grapes"—this paired set reflects the pinnacle of modern ceramic artistry. Unlike mass-produced decorative items, each piece is entirely hand-molded (Handknet) and hand-painted, translating traditional parables into a sophisticated, highly expressive contemporary idiom. Both pieces bear the authentic Meissen crossed swords mark on the underside, alongside Peter Strang’s embossed "PS" monogram, ensuring absolute provenance and authenticity.
