Bing & Grøndahl Mermaid Sea Children figurine no. 472 or 2267

This mermaid from Bing & Grøndahl is a porcelain figurine with a poetic and fairy-tale-like expression, which fits beautifully into the collection of classic Danish figurines. The motif combines the child's soft forms with the fantasy world of the sea, and the figurine has a calm, dreamy appearance that makes it both decorative and full of character. The white glaze emphasizes the model's fine lines and gives the figurine a clean, timeless expression.

The mermaid kneels with bowed head and arms gathered around the body, while a fish is seen lifted up behind the shoulder. Around the body are organic details that bring to mind seaweed, corals, or the growths of the sea. It is precisely this blend of child figure and sea motif that gives the figurine a special life and makes it ideal for collectors who are fond of Bing & Grøndahl's imaginative child figurines and maritime motifs.

The figurine is designed by Ebbe Sadolin and belongs to the Sea Children series. Sadolin is known for figurines with presence and movement, and here this is expressed in the quiet posture and the soft transitions in the form. It is made of porcelain with underglaze, which helps to emphasize the classic craftsmanship and the quality that many associate with older Danish porcelain.

A figurine like this adds personality and history to the home. It works beautifully on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as part of a collection of child figurines, sea motifs, or Bing & Grøndahl porcelain. At the same time, it is a fine way to carry older quality design forward in today's interior design. Vintage porcelain figurines like this carry both narrative and craftsmanship with them and are a sustainable alternative to new production.
