Description

A large hard-paste porcelain figure of a snow owl designed by Otto Pech and produced by Gebruder Heubach, Lichte, Thuringia, circa 1910. Perched on a faceted rocky base, the owl is finished in a cool white glaze with subtle tonal shading; beak and talons are lightly underglaze-tinted. The pose — head inclined, mass carried through the feet — exemplifies the early German Art-Deco tendency toward simplified forms and strong silhouette. Printed green sun over GH to the inner base, confirming Gebruder Heubach production. The model and finish correspond to the factory’s high-grade glazed porcelain line, issued alongside its better-known parian and bisque.

Vitrinescale glazed Heubach porcelains are notably scarce. This 35 cm Snow Owl combines an authorial model by a leading house sculptor, impeccable condition, and a clean factory mark — qualities that place it in the upper tier of Lichte animalier pieces and make it a persuasive acquisition for serious collectors.

Condition:

Excellent, virtually as new. No chips, cracks or restorations; trivial kiln and shelf traces at the foot.

Dimensions and weight: Height 35 cm; width 17 cm; depth 18 cm; weight 2228 g

Gebruder Heubach was a prominent German porcelain manufacturer based in Lichte, Thuringia, renowned during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for high-quality bisque and glazed animal and character figures.

These pieces were typically cast in high-fired white hard-paste porcelain or bisque, then hand-finished with glazed surfaces and hand-painted details by skilled artisans.

Authenticity is verified by examining the base for impressed factory marks, such as the square sunburst or hallmark used by Gebruder Heubach, alongside evaluating the weight, glaze consistency, and hand-painted detailing.

They serve as sophisticated statement objects when placed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or sideboards, adding textural interest and historical character to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and clean occasionally using a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or submersing pieces with painted surface details.
