Royal Copenhagen owl figurine no. 155, 14 cm, Theodor Madsen

Royal Copenhagen owl figurine no. 155 is a classic bird figurine in porcelain with a calm, alert expression and a striking presence. It stands upright and composed facing the viewer, while the distinct ear tufts, the small beak and the intense eyes give the figurine character. The motif is simple, but effective, and precisely for that reason an owl figurine like this fits beautifully into both a display cabinet, a bookshelf and on a shelf, where it is allowed to stand out in the light.

The white porcelain emphasizes the figurine's shape and highlights the fine modeling in the plumage. The surface is rich in relief, so each individual feather appears carefully worked and lively, without the expression becoming heavy. At the bottom is a base shaped like a branch or tree stump in muted brownish shades, which provides a natural contrast to the light body. It is a porcelain figurine that changes expression depending on where it is placed, and how the light falls on the glaze.

The figurine is modeled by Theodor Madsen, who is known for his strong animal motifs, and here one senses his sure feeling for both anatomy and atmosphere. Royal Copenhagen has through generations been associated with Danish porcelain of high quality, and this owl figurine is a good example of how nature motif, craftsmanship and design come together in a higher unity. The underglaze decoration contributes to the calm and durable expression, which many collectors and design enthusiasts appreciate.

A Royal Copenhagen owl is ideal for you who collect bird figurines, animal figurines or older porcelain with history and personality. It is also a gift idea for the bird lover or for the one who wants a piece of Danish design that can both stand alone and be combined with other porcelain figurines. Choosing a figurine with history is at the same time a beautiful way to give good craftsmanship new life in the home.
