Lot #127: German artistry and sculptural excellence

Presenting an exceptional mid-century ceramic polar bear sculpture, signed BMF, a name long associated with refined German artistry and sculptural excellence. This piece embodies the elegant restraint of European modernist design—clean lines, powerful form, and a beautifully balanced silhouette that captures the quiet majesty of the Arctic’s most iconic creature. Hand-finished in a soft glacier-toned glaze, the bear’s surface features subtle tonal variations and gentle speckling that enhance its naturalistic presence. The sculptor achieves a rare harmony between realism and abstraction: muscular, weighty, and lifelike, yet smoothed into a timeless, minimalist aesthetic that suits both contemporary interiors and classic collections. Pieces of this calibre from BMF are increasingly sought after by collectors of 20th-century European ceramics, celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship, sculptural integrity, and enduring decorative appeal. This example stands out for its strong posture, excellent condition it, and sophisticated glaze—making it not just décor, but a statement of taste. Whether showcased on a console, mantle, or gallery shelf, this sculpture commands attention with quiet confidence. A refined, investment-grade artwork ideal for collectors, designers, and lovers of fine ceramics. Dimensions: 12”/5”/6” Pickup category timeslot {A}
