Bing & Grøndahl penguin figurine no. 2059, Axel Locher, 52 cm

Bing & Grøndahl penguin figurine no. 2059 is a striking porcelain figurine with a calm and upright appearance that gives the motif both weight and character. Axel Locher has created a penguin that stands upright on an angular base shaped like ice or rock, and the expression is both lifelike and stylized in the way that makes classic B&G figurines so sought-after among collectors of Danish porcelain.

The figurine is made of porcelain with underglaze, and this suits the motif particularly well. The soft transitions between white, grey and black highlight the penguin's body, while the fine structure on the back gives the surface life and depth. From the front, the figurine appears upright and almost sculptural, while the sides show the long, smooth wings and the characteristic black marking down over the chest. It is a large bird figurine that attracts attention without appearing heavy in expression.

As a porcelain figurine, it fits beautifully in a collection of Bing & Grøndahl animal figurines, bird figurines or classic Danish design. It can also stand alone in the interior, where it adds a touch of nature, Nordic calm and storytelling. The tall model makes it suitable on a chest of drawers, in a shelving unit or in a display cabinet, where one can truly appreciate the figurine's form and the well-crafted details.

Axel Locher is known for his figurines with lively body language and a strong sense of the animals' character, and this is clearly felt here. The penguin has a dignified, almost thoughtful expression, which makes the figurine interesting to look at from several angles. For collectors of Bing & Grøndahl porcelain, figurine no. 2059 is a characterful choice, and for the design enthusiast it is a large porcelain figurine with both decorative strength and classic appeal.
