Bing & Grøndahl tit Pessimist figurine no. 1635 or 411, 13 cm

Bing & Grøndahl's tit "Pessimist" is a classic bird figurine that, with a few precise lines, conveys both calm, character and humor. The round bird body, the slightly bent head and the long tail, which lies low backwards, give the figurine its familiar expression and explain the apt name. Here it is the small tit, rendered as an atmospheric porcelain figurine with lots of personality.

The figurine is made after a model by Jens Peter Dahl Jensen, who is known for his lifelike animal and bird figurines for Bing & Grøndahl. In the pictures, a beautiful glaze finish can be seen with muted shades in light blue, brownish tones, dark head and light areas on tail and wings. The combination of the soft shape and the painted color fields gives the figurine life, without the expression becoming restless. It is precisely that balance that has made Bing & Grøndåhl's bird figurines sought after by both collectors and those who decorate with classic Danish design.

A bird figurine like this fits beautifully on a shelf, in a display cabinet, on a chest of drawers or as part of a collection with other animal figurines from Bing & Grøndahl and Royal Copenhagen. It is also ideal as a gift for someone who loves Danish porcelain, bird motifs or older design with history. When you choose an original figurine with age and soul, you also get the pleasure of passing on a quality product instead of choosing new production.

"Pessimist" is a model many know together with its counterpart "Optimist", and for that very reason the figurine also has a special place among collectors of B&G bird figurines. The small tit contains both storytelling, craftsmanship and Danish porcelain tradition in one and the same piece.
