Gorilla, Böttgersteinzeug, H 38 cm

I was blown away by the intricate detailing on the fur and facial expression—it captures the gorilla's raw power perfectly. The unglazed Böttgersteinzeug has a matte, almost velvety feel that makes it look even more lifelike.

The weight and presence of this piece are incredible for its size—it feels substantial and commanding. I’ve got it on my desk and catch myself staring at the detailed musculature.

The fur texture on this gorilla is so finely sculpted you can almost feel it—each strand looks individually carved. It has a real presence on the shelf that photos just don't capture.
