‘Sea Life’ Chess Set. Designed in 1923 by Max Esser and manufactured by the Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany.

“In the mid-eighteenth century the Meissen porcelain factory produced several chess sets by sculptor and chief modeler Johann Joachim Kändler (German, 1706–1775). In the 1920s Meissen again began to produce chess sets, among them three designed by Max Esser, known largely at the factory as a modeler of animal figures.”
