Aluminia Cousin Amager 1943 Children's Aid Day figurine no. 2284

Aluminia Children's Aid Day figurine "Cousin Amager" from 1943 is a charming child figurine with clear inspiration from Danish folk costume and everyday life. The figurine depicts a girl in a long white dress and characteristic headwear, while she carries a large basket in front of her. This gives the figurine a lively and narrative expression, making it an obvious choice for collectors of Aluminia figurines, Children's Aid Day figurines and Danish decorative arts with history.

The decoration is rich in fine details. The white dress is adorned with small blue flowers, blue edging lines and yellow stripes, while the apron has red and blue checks. The headwear is decorated with blue and yellow ribbons and small flowers, and the green base provides a beautiful finish to the whole. The basket, which the girl holds, is made with yellow vertical stripes and a woven upper edge, which emphasizes the figurine's craftsmanship character.

"Cousin Amager" is a figurine that appeals both to the collector and to the one who wishes to decorate with older Danish ceramics and porcelain figurines with personality. Older figurines like this one in particular bring soul, cultural history and narrative into the home and are at the same time a sustainable choice, because beautiful craftsmanship is allowed to live on and be appreciated anew. It fits nicely in a collection of child figurines, folk costume figurines or other vintage figurines from Aluminia.

According to the available information, the figurine was designed by Herluf Jensenius and modelled by Hans Henrik Hansen. This makes it extra interesting for collectors who place emphasis on documented Danish design history and original figurines from Aluminia. The figurine can stand alone in a display case, on a shelf or as part of a larger collection with figurines from the same period.
