Kingfisher figurine no. 1619 in stoneware from Bing & Grøndahl

Bing & Grøndahl kingfisher no. 1619 is an atmospheric bird figurine in stoneware, designed by Jens Peter Dahl Jensen. The figurine depicts the bird in a calm, attentive posture with the long beak directed forward, while it stands on a shaped base that emphasizes the motif's natural expression. The subdued glaze tones in brown, blue-grey and sand color give the figurine depth and life and suit the naturalistic bird motif particularly well.

Jens Peter Dahl Jensen is known for his animal figurines with a sure sense of anatomy and movement, and that is also evident here. The kingfisher is modeled with a simplicity that lets form and silhouette speak, while the fine transitions in the glaze highlight wings, breast and head. It is a Bing & Grøndahl figurine that has both decorative weight and a classic Danish design expression, and that fits beautifully among other bird figurines, stoneware figurines or Nordic crafts.

As an older figurine, it also has the special charm that comes with original quality objects created to last. A vintage bird figurine like this adds personality and history to the home and is an obvious choice for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl, Dahl Jensen figurines or Danish stoneware. It works well alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as part of a still life with ceramics, porcelain and nature-inspired decor. It is also a gift idea for someone who loves birds, classic Danish design and objects with soul.
