Royal Copenhagen gnome figurine no. 176, Sleeping gnome

Royal Copenhagen gnome figurine no. 176, "Sleeping gnome", is a charming porcelain gnome with the calm and slightly dreamy expression that makes the classic Christmas figurines so beloved. The figurine is designed by Sven Vestergaard and has the warm, recognizable interplay of colors in red and white shades that suits the universe of Christmas so well.

The gnome is shown with closed eyes and hands clasped in front of him, as if he has drifted off in a quiet moment in the midst of the Christmas bustle. In the pictures, the small sack over the shoulder can also be seen, which gives the figurine extra narrative and emphasizes its classic gnome motif. The red trousers, the long hat, the white beard, and the striped stockings create an expression that is both traditional and easily recognizable as Danish Christmas decoration in porcelain.

As a Royal Copenhagen Christmas figurine, this porcelain gnome fits beautifully into a collection of gnome figurines, but it also works well on its own on a shelf, on the windowsill, or as part of a small gnome landscape. It is ideal for you who collect Royal Copenhagen gnomes, and for you who would like to decorate with Christmas decorations that have both history and personality.

The underglaze decoration gives the figurine the classic porcelain expression that Royal Copenhagen is known for. It is exactly the type of Christmas figurine that many return to year after year, because it creates familiarity, nostalgia, and Christmas spirit in the home. An older or discontinued gnome figurine like this is at the same time a fine example of how good design and good craftsmanship can gain new life in modern Christmas decoration.

For collectors, the item number is important, and no. 176 makes it easier to identify the model in a larger collection of Royal Copenhagen Christmas figurines. The figurine is also an obvious gift idea for someone who is fond of porcelain gnomes, classic Christmas decorations, and Danish design with history.
