Bing & Grøndahl sparrow figurine 1888 in porcelain by Niels Nielsen

Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 1888 depicts a sparrow with a calm and lifelike expression. The bird sits on a light, stony base and is modelled with fine transitions in the glaze, which give the figurine life and depth. The muted grey-brown shades on the back and wings play beautifully together with the light breast and the glossy surface, so that the overall appearance is classic and harmonious.

This porcelain figurine is designed by Niels Nielsen and contains the characteristic balance between naturalism and simplicity that makes old Danish bird figurines so sought-after. The sparrow's compact form, the slightly raised posture and the defined wing details give the figurine a lively expression without seeming heavy. It is precisely the type of Bing & Grøndahl bird figurine that fits well into both a classic collection and a more contemporary interior.

A sparrow in porcelain is an obvious choice for those who are fond of Danish design, animal figurines and smaller porcelain figurines with personality. The figurine looks beautiful on a shelf, on a windowsill, in a display cabinet or as part of a collection of bird figurines from Bing & Grøndahl and Royal Copenhagen. It is also an obvious gift idea for collectors or for anyone who appreciates porcelain with a motif from nature's own small birds.

The underglaze decoration emphasises the soft colour tones and gives the figurine the calm, well-crafted expression that many associate with Bing & Grøndahl's porcelain figurines. Here you get a classic sparrow figurine, where motif and craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony.
