Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine 2002 Kangaroo no. 1916902

Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurine 2002 with kangaroo is a charming porcelain figurine that combines animal motif, collecting pleasure and Danish figurine tradition in one small piece of decorative art. The figurine is designed by Pia Langelund and shows an upright kangaroo with long hind legs, small forepaws gathered in front of the body and a long tail, which emphasizes the motif's characteristic silhouette. The soft brownish shades against the white belly and chest give the figurine a calm and natural expression.

As part of the series of B&G Mother's Day figurines, this figurine has a special interest for collectors. The kangaroo is in fact the same animal that also appears on Bing & Grøndahl's Mother's Day plate from 2002. Therefore, the figurine is ideal both for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl Mother's Day figurines and for those who collect B&G Mother's Day plates and would like to link figurine and plate from the same year together. It can stand alone as a decorative animal figurine, but it also fits naturally into a larger collection.

Pia Langelund's design captures the kangaroo's alert and calm appearance with a simple, precise modelling. The upright posture, the slightly turned head and the large ears give the figurine life, without the expression becoming overworked. The glossy underglaze highlights the play of colours in the porcelain and gives the surface the depth that many collectors appreciate in classic Bing & Grøndahl figurines.

A B&G Mother's Day figurine like this is also a fine choice for a modern home, where smaller porcelain figurines can create personality in a bookcase, display cabinet or on a shelf. At the same time, older porcelain figurines are a beautiful example of quality objects created to be preserved and appreciated through many years. Choosing vintage and collector figurines with history is also a way to carry lasting design forward into new surroundings.
