Superb glazed earthenware bison from the Zsolnay factory in Pécs, Hungary, dating from the 1940s-1950s. An iconic model from the Hungarian factory, unsigned but well-documented and still produced by Zsolnay in its eosin glaze version. This example features an elegant, glossy turquoise glaze with deep nuances, rarer than the traditional petrol green or eosin versions.
Length 23 cm, maximum height 15.5 cm, maximum width approximately 7 cm. Good overall condition. Three hairlines, possibly superficial and limited to the glaze, should be noted: one on the neck and cheek, and one on each flank, the one on the same side as the hairline on the neck being lighter. These flaws do not affect the structure of the earthenware and remain relatively discreet visually. Approximately 500-600g.
