Bing & Grøndahl Great Dane figurine no. 1773 Lauritz Jensen

This Bing & Grøndahl dog figurine no. 1773 depicts a lying Great Dane in a calm and attentive posture. The body is stretched low against the surface, while the head is raised, giving the figure a lively expression with both strength and dignity. The light glaze with gray spots emphasizes the dog's characteristic markings and gives the porcelain figurine a lifelike appearance, making it a beautiful choice for collectors of Danish animal figurines and classic porcelain.

The figurine is designed by Lauritz Jensen, who is known for his convincing depictions of animals. Here, the breed's long lines and powerful build are rendered with a confident hand, from the pronounced chest area to the curved tail and upright ears. The underglaze decoration highlights the soft transitions in the coat and gives the surface depth and calm. It is precisely this kind of detail that makes older Bing & Grøndahl figurines sought after among both porcelain collectors and dog lovers.

A Great Dane figurine like this looks beautiful in a bookcase, on a display cabinet, or as part of a personal collection of porcelain dog figurines. It also works well as a gift for someone who appreciates large dog breeds, Danish design history, and objects with character. Vintage porcelain like this brings both history and personality into the décor and is at the same time a sustainable choice when beautiful craftsmanship is allowed to live on in new homes.
