Bing & Grøndahl mother with child figurine no. 110 or 4110

This Bing & Grøndahl figurine of a mother with child is a fine example of the calm, human narrative for which Kai Nielsen is known. The motif brings together tenderness, closeness and protection in one simple composition, where the woman holds the child close to her. The figurine has a soft and harmonious expression, and the light Blanc de Chine finish emphasizes the clean lines and the quiet mood of the motif.

The porcelain figurine appears with a slender, standing female figure carrying the child on her arm, while the head bends slightly down toward the child. This very gesture gives the figurine warmth and life and makes it ideal for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figurines, Kai Nielsen porcelain and classic mother and child figurines. It is a figurine that appeals both to those who are fond of Danish porcelain design and to those seeking a special gift with an intimate and timeless motif.

The Blanc de Chine technique gives the surface a clean and calm expression, where form and modelling are allowed to take center stage. This makes the figurine easy to place in the interior, where it can stand alone as a sculptural element or be combined with other porcelain figurines and collectibles. A mother with child figurine like this fits beautifully in both modern and more classic homes and can also be a meaningful gift idea for, for example, a mother, a christening or a family with a love of design with history.

Older porcelain figurines like this hold a special charm because they are created to be preserved and appreciated through generations. When you choose vintage porcelain and classical figurative art, you get not just a decorative object, but also a piece of design history with soul and lasting value.
