Depictions of animals have been among the preferred themes of the Daum manufactory since the beginning of the 20th century. It was Almaric Walter with Antonin Daum who inspired the animal movement under the influence of naturalism and the Art Nouveau movement. The manufactory then created decorative objects made of glass paste and realistic animal sculptures with a very astonishing polychromy.

He was internationally renowned in the world of perfumery, having designed bottles for some of the greatest couturiers. As a sculptor, director, and set designer, Mansau always brought a fresh perspective to the world.For Daum, he created endearing figurines that evoke childhood memories.
