Royal Copenhagen figurines no. 12245, 12246 and 12247 Neptune, sea nymphs and mermaid

Three Royal Copenhagen figurines with the world of the sea as a common theme bring together mythology, movement and classical porcelain art in an unusual and decorative motif. Here you encounter a small group of sea figures with clear inspiration from the tales of antiquity: a bearded Neptune, a resting mermaid and a pair of sea nymphs, one of whom is playing a trumpet. This gives the figurines a lively expression and a strong narrative, which makes them exciting both for collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and for those who appreciate classical porcelain figurines with character.

The figurines are modelled with fine body lines and a calm, sculptural balance. The glossy white porcelain surface beautifully highlights the forms and lets the light work in the details, from the mermaid's tail and the small shell motifs to Neptune's upright posture and the sea nymphs' raised arms with trumpet. It is precisely the white porcelain that gives the series a pure and almost marble-like expression, which fits well into both classic and modern interiors.

The design is by Arno Malinowski, and the figurines bear the sense of form that makes his works sought after among collectors. The combination of fairy-tale figure, theatrical figure and maritime motif makes them suitable as eye-catchers in the display cabinet, on a shelf or as part of a larger collection of Royal Copenhagen porcelain figurines. They also work beautifully together, where the interplay between the three motifs creates a small story from the sea's mythological universe.

Older porcelain figurines like these have a special ability to add personality and history to the home. When one chooses classical porcelain with soul, one also chooses a piece of craftsmanship that is created to be preserved and appreciated through generations. This makes them a sustainable choice for those who wish to decorate with quality, culture and lasting beauty.
