Bing & Grøndahl Greenfinch Group figurine no. 1708 by Dahl-Jensen

Bing & Grøndahl Greenfinch Group figurine no. 1708 by Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen is a porcelain figurine with a calm and intimate bird motif, where two greenfinches are gathered closely side by side. The figurine conveys a quiet atmosphere and a fine sense of togetherness, which makes it very appealing in the interior. The soft shapes and the low, unified composition give the figurine a harmonious expression, while the birds' different shades create life and depth in the motif.

In the pictures, one bird appears in a darker grey-brown tone and the other in a lighter brown-beige colour, both with light areas on the underside and tail. The darkest bird also has a decorative, speckled breast area, which adds extra character to the model. The posture is natural and balanced, with one bird slightly raised behind the other, so the figurine changes expression depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen is known for his animal and bird figurines, and here his sure eye for anatomy, movement and atmosphere is evident. With this bird figurine in porcelain, Bing & Grøndahl has combined observation of nature and classic Danish porcelain art in a model that appeals both to collectors and to those who want a poetic feature in the home. Under the glaze, the surface has a soft sheen, which emphasises the figurine's rounded shapes and the calm colour transitions.

An older porcelain figurine like this adds soul and personality to the home and is at the same time a sustainable choice. Quality objects created to last through generations deserve to be used, displayed and appreciated again. The Greenfinch Group fits beautifully in the display cabinet, on a chest of drawers or as part of an arrangement with other bird figurines, porcelain animals or classic Danish decorative arts. It is also an obvious gift for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl, for the bird lover or for the person who appreciates porcelain with a history.
