Royal Copenhagen bear cub figurine no. 22748 or 248 Knud Kyhn

Royal Copenhagen bear cub figurine no. 22748 or 248 is a characterful stoneware figurine with the lively and nature-inspired design language that Knud Kyhn is known for. The small bear cub is modeled in a calm, seated position with soft, rounded shapes and an expression that gives the figurine personality and presence. The dark glaze with warm brownish shades emphasizes the modeling and gives the surface depth.

Knud Kyhn had a special touch with animal figurines, and that is clearly felt here. The bear cub is not rigid or stylized, but shaped with a sense of both weight, movement, and temperament. Paws, snout, and head are worked out so that the figurine gains an almost narrative expression, which makes it interesting to observe from several angles. It is precisely the type of Royal Copenhagen figurine that appeals both to collectors of Danish design and to those who want a smaller sculptural detail with warmth and character in the interior.

A stoneware bear figurine like this fits beautifully on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as part of an arrangement with other animal figurines and classic Danish ceramics. It also works well as a gift for the collector or for someone who appreciates Royal Copenhagen, Knud Kyhn, and timeless Nordic design. Older figurines like this also carry a special value in themselves, because they are created to last and can gain new life in a modern home, where good craftsmanship and history still have a natural place.
