Around 1800 master sculptor Johann Peter Melchior created this small lion figurine. After just a short time the reclining lion was so popular that it was subsequently produced in different sizes, with and without a base, as a pure figurine or a paperweight. To this day, he and his benevolent-looking relatives are among Nymphenburg porcelain manufactory’s bestsellers.
