Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2014 H.C. Andersen Sven Vestergaard

Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2014 depicts H.C. Andersen in a calm and reflective moment. He is seated with a top hat, long coat and book in hand, while a small duckling at his foot directs the thoughts straight to the fairy tale The Ugly Duckling. The figurine is done in the classic blue-grey shades and has an expression that fits beautifully into both Christmas decorations, collections and Danish design with storytelling.

Sven Vestergaard has created a figurine in which the recognizable figure is interpreted with fine details and an atmosphere of immersion. The book in his hand and the slightly turned posture give the motif life, as if H.C. Andersen has just been interrupted in the middle of a thought or a reading aloud. The small duckling makes the figurine particularly special for collectors of fairy tale motifs and for everyone who loves Danish cultural history in porcelain.

The annual figurine is part of Royal Copenhagen's Christmas series from 2014, and that is precisely what makes it extra interesting for collectors. The figurine is taken from the motif on the Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate from the same year, where the H.C. Andersen statue in front of Copenhagen City Hall is part of the story. Therefore, it functions not only as an independent porcelain figurine, but also as an obvious supplement to the Christmas plate from 2014 and as a natural part of a complete Royal Copenhagen Christmas collection.

It fits beautifully in the display cabinet, on the shelf or as a personal gift for a collector, a literature enthusiast or an admirer of H.C. Andersen. As an annual figurine, it also has the special appeal that year and motif are closely linked to a specific release, which makes it easy to place in an existing collection and interesting as a missing figurine in the series.
