Royal Copenhagen Greenlandic girl overglaze figurine no. 12415 or 254

This Greenlandic girl from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figurine with a calm, present expression and a strong narrative in the motif. The figurine is made as a kneeling girl in national costume, where both posture, face and clothing are modelled with great attention to character and atmosphere. In her hands she holds small bouquets of flowers, which add a fine play of colour to the figurine and emphasise the poetic expression.

The overglaze decoration gives the figurine its vivid colours and many details. In the pictures, the warm red-orange costume is seen combined with fur trim, patterned borders and discreet decorative fields, which give the figurine depth and visual variation from all angles. The kneeling position and the slightly turned upper body make the figurine particularly decorative, both alone in a display cabinet and together with other human figures or folk costume figurines.

The figurine is modelled by Carl Martin-Hansen, who is known for his characterful depictions and confident formal language. Here, artistic sensitivity is united with Royal Copenhagen's tradition-rich porcelain craftsmanship in a figurine that appeals both to collectors of porcelain figurines and to you who appreciate cultural-historical motifs with personality. The Greenlandic girl has a classic expression, which makes it suitable in both older and more modern interiors.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special charm because they carry history, craftsmanship and culture forward into the present. It is precisely the type of quality object that is created to be preserved and appreciated through generations. As a vintage porcelain figurine, it is also a beautiful choice for you who wish to decorate with original things with soul rather than new production.
