Royal Copenhagen bowl with mouse by Erik Nielsen

This charming bowl from Royal Copenhagen combines function and storytelling in the finest way. The soft, organic shape gets a lively counterpoint from the little mouse, which sits at the edge and looks down into the bowl with an almost curious expression. The motif is both playful and elegant, and it gives the porcelain a special personality that immediately attracts attention in the interior.

Erik Nielsen has created a design in which nature is considered in every single detail. The calm glaze tones in whitish and grey shades emphasize the Nordic lightness, while the modelled mouse adds warmth, humour and a touch of narrative. It is exactly the kind of porcelain that makes Royal Copenhagen beloved among collectors and connoisseurs of Danish design.

The bowl is more than just a decorative piece of porcelain. It can be used as a small bowl for jewellery, keys, small servings or other fine everyday details that deserve a beautiful setting. It also fits perfectly on a coffee table, a chest of drawers or in a display cabinet, where it can stand alone or be part of a collection of figurative porcelain and classic Danish decorative arts.

What is special about this Royal Copenhagen bowl is the combination of craftsmanship, design and motif. The naturalistic mouse is executed with great sense of proportions and character, and the asymmetrical shape gives the piece a lively and almost sculptural appearance. For collectors of Royal Copenhagen, porcelain with animals or older Danish design, this is a piece with both decorative value and collector appeal.

If you are looking for a gift for a porcelain lover, a collector or someone who appreciates Danish design with soul, this small bowl is an obvious choice. At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, it is a fine example of how decorative art and artistic expression can merge in one and the same piece of porcelain.
