Bing & Grøndahl stoneware bird figurine by Steen Lykke Madsen

This stoneware figurine from Bing & Grøndahl has a simple, modern and characterful expression, where the abstract formal language brings to mind a stylized bird. The figurine is built up in soft, rounded lines with a pronounced head, a calm body shape and dark contour strokes that emphasize the silhouette and bring the motif to life. The glaze appears in light, earthy shades, which underline the figurine's calm and artistic expression.

Steen Lykke Madsen is known for a free and personal formal language, and this is clearly felt here. The figurine balances between the figurative and the abstract, so that it can be read both as a bird figurine and as a small ceramic art object. It is precisely this double effect that makes it exciting to have on display, because it changes character depending on the light, placement and the viewer's gaze.

As a Bing & Grøndahl stoneware figurine, it fits beautifully into an interior with a focus on Danish design, ceramics and sculptural details. It looks good on its own on a shelf, in a bookcase or on a side table, but can also be combined with other ceramic figurines to create a more personal still life. For collectors of Bing & Grøndahl, stoneware and Danish design, it is an interesting addition, and for the design enthusiast it is a decorative figurine with warmth, distinctiveness and history.

Older design objects like this have a special ability to add soul to the home. When you choose vintage stoneware and ceramics, you do not just get a beautiful figurine, but also a piece of design created to last and be appreciated for many years. It is a sustainable way to furnish your home with quality and personality.
