Category: Rudolph Hölbe

Die "Schale Delphinbrunnen", handbemalt und limitiert, von Rudolph Hölbe aus dem Jahr 1897 war ursprünglich als Aschenbecher gedacht. Das bis ins kleinste Detail kunstvoll modellierte Kunstwerk ist handbemalt und besticht durch einen wasserspeienden Delphin, der einen kleinen Putto trägt. Die Schale wird so zum verspielten Kunstwerk: Die amüsante Idee, Zigarrenglut vor einem wasserspeienden Delphin zu löschen, zeugt vom Humor des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts. Limitiert auf 75 Stück.

Violet ★★★★★

The hand-painted details on this little dolphin fountain are incredibly delicate and lifelike — you can see every tiny scale. It's smaller than I imagined for a piece from 1897, but that makes the craftsmanship feel even more impressive.

William M. ★★★★★

The hand-painted details on this little dolphin fountain are even more intricate than the photos show, especially the way the water looks like it's flowing. I actually use it as a small catch-all on my desk rather than an ashtray, and it adds a lovely vintage touch.

Lucy ★★★★★

The limited-edition stamp on the base gives this little piece a real sense of history. It’s heavier than I expected, and the hand-painted details on the dolphins are remarkably crisp.
