Royal Copenhagen bear cub no. 22745 or 245 stoneware figurine

Royal Copenhagen bear cub no. 22745 or 245 is a charming stoneware figurine with lots of life and personality. The figurine is modeled by Knud Kyhn, who is known for his lively and characterful animal figures, and here he has captured a small bear cub in a playful and relaxed position on its back with its paws in the air. This gives the figurine a warm, humorous, and intimate expression that makes it easy to love.

The dark glaze with warm brownish shades on the highlighted details emphasizes the soft shapes and gives the bear cub depth and materiality. One especially notices the round body, the small ears, the short snout, and the defined paws, which together create a lifelike yet at the same time stylized expression. It is precisely this balance between naturalism and calm design that makes Knud Kyhn's animal figures so sought after among collectors of Royal Copenhagen stoneware.

As a vintage stoneware figurine, this bear cub contains both history, craftsmanship, and timeless Danish design. It fits beautifully into an interior where one wishes to add warmth, personality, and objects with soul to the home. The figurine can stand alone on a shelf, in a bookcase, or on a desk, but it is also ideal to combine with other animal figures in ceramics and stoneware. For collectors of Knud Kyhn and Royal Copenhagen, it is a fine example of the classic Danish tradition of animal figures with character and weight.

It is also a decorative gift idea for someone who loves Danish design, ceramics, and collectible figurines with a soft, narrative expression. A small figurine like this attracts attention without seeming dominant and brings both nostalgia and quality into the home.
