Bing & Grøndahl Trousers Goblin figure no. 1759 boy buttoning his trousers

Bing & Grøndahl figure no. 1759, known as Trousers Goblin, captures a small, recognizable moment from childhood. The figure depicts a boy standing intently buttoning his trousers, slightly bent forward with his gaze directed down toward his hands. It is precisely this everyday scene that gives the porcelain figure life and personality and makes it a charming feature in the collection of Danish child figures.

The motif is simple, but very finely observed. The boy stands barefoot on a white base with a light upper body, short light hair and blue trousers with vertical stripes, which give the figure a classic and calm expression. The subdued color scheme and the natural posture help to emphasize the quiet moment when a child is absorbed in his own little task. This makes the figure both decorative and full of story.

The porcelain figure is designed by Michaela Ahlmann for Bing & Grøndahl and executed in underglaze. This underscores the Danish tradition of figure art, where everyday motifs, children and small movements are transformed into durable craftsmanship with great sensitivity. For collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figures and porcelain figures with children, Trousers Goblin no. 1759 is a motif that stands out for its naturalness and presence.

Older porcelain figures like this have a special ability to add warmth, history and personality to the home. It fits beautifully in the display cabinet, on a shelf or together with other child figures from Bing & Grøndahl. At the same time, it is a sustainable choice for those who appreciate classic Danish design and the joy of giving beautiful craftsmanship new life in a modern home.
