Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine 1990 hen with chick no. 1916690

This Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine from 1990 depicts a hen with chick as two separate figures, executed with a calm and warm expression. The hen stands upright on a green base with white glaze and fine areas in bluish, golden and brownish shades, while the small chick is modelled in soft yellow tones. Together they form a motif that brings to mind care, closeness and life in the countryside.

The figurine is part of the series of B&G Mother's Day figurines, and that is precisely what makes it extra interesting for collectors. The animal on the Mother's Day figurine is the same animal that appears on Bing & Grøndahl's Mother's Day plate from 1990. Therefore, this Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine is also an obvious choice for collectors who are interested in both B&G Mother's Day figurines and Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates and would like to collect the motif of the year across formats.

The motif with hen and chick gives the figurine a special place among animal figurines from Bing & Grøndahl. The two figures work beautifully together, but can also be appreciated for the small differences in form and character. The underglaze gives the surface depth and gloss, and the expression fits well into both a classic collection and a home where porcelain figurines with history are allowed to create personality.

As a vintage porcelain figurine, this B&G Mother's Day figurine also contains the joy of preserving older quality design. It can stand alone as a small atmospheric feature or complement an existing collection of Mother's Day figurines, animal figurines or Bing & Grøndahl porcelain. For collectors, it can also be the missing figurine from the 1990 series.
