About the item
Royal Copenhagen Fairy Tale II is an overglaze figurine with a poetic and dreamlike expression, which fits beautifully into the collection of classic Danish porcelain figurines. The figurine is modelled by Gerhard Henning and unites the narrative with the decorative in a motif that evokes associations with fantasy, fairy tales and scenic movement. This very type of porcelain figurine is sought after among collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and among those who are fond of crafts with character and history.

The motif appears as a figural group, where a kneeling, nude figure raises its arms up toward a seated person. The composition gives the figurine a vivid and almost theatrical tension, while the soft forms and the fine fields of colour emphasise the artistic expression. The overglaze decoration adds warm nuances and details, which make the figurine interesting to observe from several angles.

Gerhard Henning is known for his figurine models with human presence and artistic distinctiveness, and Fairy Tale II is a good example of exactly this. The figurine has both collector's value and decorative value and can be placed in a display cabinet, on a shelf or as a special feature in a classic or personal home interior. It also works well together with other porcelain figurines from Royal Copenhagen, if you wish to create a whole with Danish design and figurative art.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special charm, because they are created to be preserved and appreciated through generations. When one chooses vintage porcelain and classic figurative art, one gets not just a decorative object, but also a piece of design history that can continue to create joy in a modern home. This makes Fairy Tale II an obvious gift idea for collectors, design enthusiasts and everyone who appreciates porcelain with soul.
