Bing & Grøndahl Great Dane figure no. 1773 Lauritz Jensen 29 cm

A large dog figure like this has a calm and dignified expression that immediately attracts attention. The reclining Great Dane from Bing & Grøndahl is modelled with long, extended lines and an upright posture, which gives the figure both strength and lightness. The white glaze emphasizes the dog's slender body, defined chest and elegant head, while the decorative base with wave pattern adds a classic, decorative touch.

The figure is made after a design by Lauritz Jensen, who is known for his naturalistic animal figures with a confident sense of anatomy and movement. Here the character of the Great Dane breed is captured in a relaxed, yet attentive posture, where the dog lies down with its head raised and an alert gaze. The light collar and the finely modelled paws give the figure extra life and detail without taking focus from the whole.

As a porcelain figure, it works beautifully both as a collector's item and as a striking part of the decor. It fits well on a sideboard, in a bookcase or in a display cabinet, where its length and glossy surface are allowed to come into their own. For dog lovers, collectors of Bing & Grøndahl or those of you who appreciate Danish porcelain design with history, this is a figure with both personality and classic appeal.

Older porcelain figures like this have a special charm because they unite craftsmanship, design and lasting quality. It is precisely this type of decorative art and design with soul that can still create joy in a modern home and at the same time be a sustainable choice when choosing original objects rather than new production.
