Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine 1997 gosling no. 1916697

This Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine from 1997 depicts a gosling and has a calm, soft expression, which makes the motif easy to like. The figurine is modelled with a round body, small wings, and a slightly turned head, which gives it life and presence. The light shades and the glossy underglaze highlight the fine shapes and emphasize the classic B&G expression that many collectors associate with Danish porcelain art.

The gosling is part of the series of B&G Mother's Day figurines, where each year's figurine is closely tied to Bing & Grøndahl's Mother's Day tradition. The animal on the Mother's Day figurine is the same animal that is depicted on Bing & Grøndahl's Mother's Day plate from the same year, and therefore this figurine is also of particular interest to collectors of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day plates 1997. If you are looking for both a Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine and a B&G Mother's Day plate with the same motif, this gosling is an obvious choice.

It works beautifully on its own as a small porcelain figurine with an animal motif, but it is also an obvious addition as part of a collection of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurines. For collectors, it may be a missing figurine in the series, and for others, it may be a decorative little animal figurine that fits nicely on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as a personal gift for someone who is fond of geese, bird figurines, or Danish design with history.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special charm because they are created to be preserved and enjoyed for many years.

The little gosling adds personality to the home and is a fine example of how classic collector figurines still fit naturally into a modern interior.
