Royal Copenhagen Amager Girl knitting girl figurine no. 1314 or 097

Royal Copenhagen Amager Girl knitting girl figurine no. 1314 or 097 is a porcelain figurine with a calm and homely motif, where a young girl in national costume is absorbed in her needlework. The figurine sits on a small stool with her gaze directed down at the knitting in her hands, and the entire composition conveys quiet work, tradition and everyday life with historical character.

Lotte Benter has created a figurine where both posture and costume tell the story. The characteristic Amager costume is seen in the figurine's headwear, shawl and light apron, while the muted blue, grey and white shades provide a classic expression that fits beautifully into a collection of Royal Copenhagen figurines. The knitting girl's slightly forward-bent posture and the fine details around hands, face and costume give the figurine life and presence.

As a porcelain figurine, it is a good example of the type of Danish figurative art that combines cultural history, craftsmanship and decorative value. The underglaze technique contributes to the soft, harmonious surface and the calm colour transitions, which suit the motif particularly well. For collectors of figurines with folk costumes, female figurines and Danish design, this Amager Girl is an obvious choice, and it also works beautifully as a standalone figurine on a shelf, in a display cabinet or on a chest of drawers.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special ability to add personality and history to the home. They are created to last a long time and can still bring joy in modern interiors, where classic Danish porcelain is given new life. The figurine would also be an obvious gift idea for collectors or for those who are fond of Royal Copenhagen, Danish cultural history and figurines with a needlework motif.
