Roach Bing & Grøndahl fish figurine no. 2145 Svend Jespersen

Bing & Grøndahl fish figurine no. 2145 depicts a roach in a calm and lifelike style that is particularly well suited to collectors of Danish porcelain figurines and classic animal figurines. The figurine is designed by Svend Jespersen, who is known for his fish motifs, and here the motif is rendered with a fine balance between simplicity and precision. The compact size makes the figurine easy to place, while the form still has clear character.

The roach is made of porcelain with underglaze, and the glaze highlights the visible details in the fish's body. In the pictures, a blue-grey back, light sides and belly, as well as distinct scales, fins and eye can be seen, which give the figurine life. The slightly curved body and the upward tail create movement in the expression, so that the figurine does not appear static, but almost like a little moment lifted up from the water's surface.

It is exactly the type of porcelain figurine for which Bing & Grøndahl is appreciated: nature motifs with a sure eye for proportions and a decorative expression that endures over time. As an older design object, the figurine also contains the special value found in preserving and using quality objects with history. A fish figurine like this adds personality to the décor and works well alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or together with other animal figurines and porcelain objects in Nordic style.

It is also an obvious gift idea for the fisherman, the collector, or the person who appreciates Bing & Grøndahl porcelain and Danish design with natural motifs. With its classic expression and manageable format, it is easy to combine with both modern and more traditional surroundings.
