Royal Copenhagen seated ballerina figurine no. 134 Allan Therkelsen

This seated ballerina from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figurine with a calm and present expression. The motif shows a young ballerina in a quiet moment, where she sits on the floor and ties her ballet shoe. The relaxed posture and the concentrated gaze give the figurine a fine sense of preparation, immersion, and the discipline that belongs to the world of ballet.

The figurine is designed by Allan Therkelsen and executed in porcelain with underglaze, which supports the soft transitions and the calm play of colors. In the picture, the ballerina is seen in a dark blue costume with light hair pinned up, and it is precisely the combination of the simple colors and the naturalistic modeling that gives the figurine a classic expression. It is a Royal Copenhagen figurine that appeals both to collectors of porcelain figurines and to those who are fond of motifs with dance, children, and movement.

As a child figurine and dance figurine, it fits beautifully into an interior where one wants a personal element with artistic character. It can stand alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as part of a collection of Royal Copenhagen figurines. The motif also makes it an obvious gift for a ballet dancer, a girl who loves dancing, or a collector with a fondness for classic Danish porcelain.

Older porcelain figurines like this contain a special charm because they are created to be preserved and appreciated for many years. Choosing a figurine with history is also a way to give good craftsmanship new life. It adds personality to the home and makes the interior more individual than mass-produced alternatives.
