Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 2237 Woman with pig - Axel Locher

Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 2237 "Woman with pig" is an atmospheric porcelain figurine that depicts everyday life in the countryside with calm, presence, and great sensitivity to the motif. The figurine shows a woman standing by the trough with a pig, and together they tell a small story about farm life, care, and work in agriculture. It is precisely this type of agricultural figurine that gives classic Danish porcelain warmth and personality.

Axel Locher has created a motif where both posture and details help bring the scene to life. The woman stands slightly bent forward with a small splintered wooden vessel in her hand, while the pig is occupied with the trough in front of her. Headscarf, vest, apron-like dress, and the natural arrangement give the figurine a credible expression, connected to rural life and peasant culture. The colors in blue, brown, and white shades emphasize the calm and down-to-earth expression.

As a porcelain figurine from Bing & Grøndahl, it combines decorative value with classic craftsmanship. Underglaze gives the surface depth and a soft sheen that suits the motif nicely. The figurine fits well into a collection of B&G figurines, agricultural figurines, or other porcelain figurines with people, animals, and Danish everyday scenes. It also works beautifully on its own on a shelf, in the display cabinet, or as a personal gift for a collector with an interest in Danish design and figurines with a story.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special charm because they carry both history and craftsmanship forward. Choosing a figurine with a motif from farm life and country life is also a way to preserve classic Danish porcelain and give a quality product new life in a modern home. Here you get a figurine with both soul, collector interest, and a motif that still speaks clearly today.
