Opened a sculptor's studio in Nuremberg in 1899. In 1911 he moved to
Sonneberg/Thuringia. The artist became known through his work for the
manufacturers Bauer, Rosenthal & Co. KG, Kronach and Philipp Rosenthal
& Co. AG, Selb. He also took part in various exhibitions, e.g. at the
Paris World Exhibition of 1900, the ceramics show in Leipzig (1901),
the art exhibition in Berlin (1902) and the World Exhibition St. Louis
(USA / Missouri - 1904). - Adolf Oppel's figure style is classic in the
sense of the school of Adolf Hildebrand (1847–1921). In his earlier
creative period, Oppel specialized in combining his Art Nouveau figures
with vases, centerpieces and bowls. Later on - as part of his work for
Rosenthal in Selb - he created fully plastic figures.
