Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2014 Alfred Sven Vestergaard

Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2014 Alfred captures a warm and recognizable Christmas story in porcelain. The figurine shows Alfred kneeling by a small fir tree, busy getting it ready for Christmas. The blue shades in the clothes and cap stand beautifully with the green tree with white snow, and the motif has the calm, narrative atmosphere that many collectors associate with the Royal Copenhagen Christmas universe.

Alfred is designed by Sven Vestergaard, and the figurine is taken from the motif on Royal Copenhagen's Christmas plate from the same year. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors who like to connect the annual figurine and Christmas plate in a unified story. Where the Christmas plate shows the scene in its larger context, this porcelain figurine gives the opportunity to get completely close to the small detail and the quiet activity around the Christmas tree.

The figurine is made with fine, distinct details. The knitted sweater, the white mittens, the sturdy boots and Alfred's concentrated posture give the figurine life and personality. At the same time, the underglaze and Royal Copenhagen's confident design language make it a decorative annual figurine that works both alone and together with other figurines in the Årsfigurer RC series. For collectors, Alfred can be an obvious addition to an existing collection or a figurine that helps complete the range of annual Christmas motifs.

As a Christmas figurine, Alfred fits beautifully into the winter and Christmas decoration, where he can stand on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as part of a personal arrangement with Christmas plates, pixies and other classic Danish Christmas porcelain. It is also a gift idea for someone who collects Royal Copenhagen figurines, annual figurines or motifs with children and Christmas atmosphere.

Choosing a figurine with history and collectible value is at the same time a way to enjoy fine craftsmanship that is created to be brought out year after year. It is precisely the kind of porcelain that brings memories, personality and lasting Christmas joy into the home.
