Bing & Grøndahl Mother and child figure no. 109 or 4109

Bing & Grøndahl figure no. 109 or 4109 is an atmospheric porcelain figure with the motif of mother and child, created by Kai Nielsen. The figure shows a nude mother carrying her small child close to her, and the expression is characterized by calm, closeness and care. It is a classic mother and child figure, where the simple form and the close contact between the two make the motif both timeless and touching.

The white Blanc de Chine finish emphasizes the figure's soft lines and sculptural expression. Without disturbing decoration, the form itself is allowed to stand out clearly, and this suits Kai Nielsen's sure sense of the human body and of the quiet moments that contain much feeling beautifully. The figure appears slender and harmonious with the child resting against the mother's shoulder, which gives the porcelain figure a warm and human presence.

As a Bing & Grøndahl figure, this model belongs to the Danish tradition of artistic porcelain, where craftsmanship, motif and form come together in a higher unity. The mother and child motif makes it ideal for collectors of Kai Nielsen figures and Bing & Grøndahl porcelain figures, but it will also fit beautifully into a modern home as a small sculpture with personality and history. It works well on a shelf, in a display cabinet arrangement or as a meaningful gift for someone who loves classical Danish figurative art.

Older porcelain figures like this have a special ability to add soul to the home. They are made to last, to be cared for and to be passed on through generations. Precisely for that reason, vintage porcelain is also a beautiful and sustainable choice when one desires quality and character rather than new production.
