    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Tiere für das Schloss des Königs geschaffen von wahren Großmeistern der Porzellankunst. Dieser Band gewährt unter anderem einen gezielten Blick auf die Umstände der Herstellung der Meißner Porzellantiere und auf das Kunstverständnis bzw. Tierverständnis ihrer Schöpfer. Darüber hinaus geht der Autor der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung den Meißener Tiergroßplastiken in, aber auch nach ihrer Entstehungszeit zukam bzw. zukommt.
