Porcelain with painted underglaze
Is it a predator or a prey animal? Jewellery or a status symbol? This stoat gracefully rises up towards the viewer with all its vivacity. Also going by the name of weasel, it belongs to the family of the martens that has a large number of species. In 1960, August Göhring captured the slim creature in its reddish brown summer colouring. The underglaze painting shows the fur of the weasel in summer, whilst in the winter months the colouring is reduced to a bare white.
