Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2017 girl with swan Allan Therkelsen

Royal Copenhagen annual figurine 2017 with girl and swan captures a calm winter atmosphere in the classic blue and white porcelain that many collectors associate with Danish Christmas and Royal Copenhagen's distinctive design language. The figurine shows a little girl in a blue winter coat, hat, mittens and dark boots, while she feeds a swan standing very close by her legs. It is a motif of closeness, silence and winter light, told in a delicate, figurative form.

This annual figurine is designed by Allan Therkelsen and executed in underglaze. An important characteristic of this particular figurine is that it is taken from the motif on the Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate of the same year. For collectors, this gives it an extra dimension, because the figurine not only stands beautifully on its own, but also relates directly to the 2017 motif from the Christmas plate. It can therefore be an obvious supplement to an existing collection of Royal Copenhagen annual figurines and Christmas plates, or a meaningful beginning to a new collection.

The girl's slightly bent posture and the swan's attentive movement create a vivid moment where winter, animal and human meet. The cool blue shades emphasize the Nordic atmosphere, and the underglaze decoration gives the figurine the familiar, durable and refined expression for which Royal Copenhagen is known. As a porcelain figurine, it fits nicely in both a Christmas display, display cabinet and on a shelf, where it can bring the story of the season into the home without seeming tied to one single occasion.

Annual figurines from Royal Copenhagen hold a special place among collectors, because each year gets its own motif and its own story. That is precisely why the 2017 figurine with girl and swan is interesting for both those who follow the series year by year, and those who simply seek a porcelain figurine with a winter motif, child and animal in classic Danish design.
