Sparrow family figure no. 1670 or 415 Bing & Grøndahl Royal Copenhagen

Sparrow family is a lively porcelain figurine with a warm and natural bird motif, where three sparrows are gathered in a close, dynamic composition. The motif exudes movement and presence: one bird has raised wings and an open beak, while the two other birds lie close around it. This gives the figurine a narrative expression, which makes it interesting from all angles and easy to place wherever one would like a piece of Danish design with personality.

The figurine is made for Bing & Grøndahl - Royal Copenhagen and is designed by Jens Peter Dahl Jensen. The soft shapes and the naturalistic modelling suit the motif particularly well, and the grey, brownish and white shades emphasise the sparrows' calm, Nordic character. In the existing product information, the technique is stated as underglaze, which fits well with the figurine's smooth surface and fine, subdued interplay of colours.

As a bird figurine in porcelain, this Sparrow family is an obvious choice for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl and Royal Copenhagen, but also for you who simply appreciate classic animal figurines with history. It works beautifully in the display cabinet, on a shelf or as part of a still life arrangement with other porcelain figurines, ceramics or smaller art objects. The motif has a homely and poetic atmosphere, which makes the figurine suitable as a gift for bird lovers, collectors or for a home where older quality design is welcome to be given new life.

Older porcelain figurines like this add something special to the interior. They are created with an eye for both craftsmanship and durability, and precisely for that reason it makes good sense to preserve and continue using them. A figurine like this brings both history, charm and sustainable consideration into the home.
