Boy with dog figurine no. 1951 or 440 Bing & Grøndahl

This porcelain figurine of a boy with a dog captures a quiet and touching moment between child and animal. The boy sits on the floor in a simple white outfit and holds the small dog close to him, while his head bends gently down toward it. The motif has a calmness and intimacy that makes the figurine ideal for those who are fond of classic child figurines with warmth, feeling, and storytelling.

The expression is delicately modelled, and the interplay between the soft shapes brings the figurine to life. The small dog is executed in warm brown shades, which stand beautifully with the boy's light clothing and hair in muted tones. The intimate pose makes the figurine much more than a traditional porcelain figurine; it tells of trust, childhood, and the special bond between children and pets.

The figurine is designed by Ingeborg Plockross-Irminger for Bing & Grøndahl and is a fine example of the naturalistic and human approach that many collectors appreciate. The underglaze technique provides a calm, durable surface and emphasizes the subdued colours. For collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figurines, child figurines, and animal figurines, this is a motif with both charm and classic Danish porcelain history.

An older porcelain figurine like this adds personality and soul to the home. It fits beautifully on a shelf, on a chest of drawers, or in a display cabinet, where it can stand alone or be combined with other child figurines and figurines with animals. At the same time, it is a sustainable choice to give quality design new life in a modern home, where fine craftsmanship is still appreciated.
