On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 533

为奥古斯都二世位于德累斯顿的日本宫殿制作的这组大型动物瓷器是十八世纪陶瓷业最有雄心的壮举之一。那时不曾有过制作这等规模的动物造型瓷器的先例，这头狮子及与其配对的狮子身上出现了无数在烧制时形成的裂缝，反映出制作这种大型塑像时从制胚到烧制工艺的技术困难。虽有泛青色的釉彩一类的技术瑕疵，但这尊瓷狮及其所属的瓷器系列仍代表了德国迈森工厂的最高成就之一，这里是欧洲第一家制作出真正的瓷器的工厂。

Lion (one of a pair), Johann Gottlieb Kirchner (German, Merseburg 1706–after 1738 Berlin, active at Meissen 1727–28 and 1731–33), Hard-paste porcelain, German, Meissen
