Royal Copenhagen guinea fowl figurine no. 1086 Peter Herold

Royal Copenhagen guinea fowl figurine no. 1086 by Peter Herold is a characterful bird figurine in porcelain with a calm and lifelike expression. The motif is a guinea fowl, depicted standing with an upright neck, round body and the distinctive head that makes the bird easily recognizable. The grey glaze with light spots highlights the special plumage, and the light base gives the figurine a fine foundation that brings to mind the calm colours of nature.

Peter Herold has created a porcelain figurine in which the bird's form is simplified enough to appear sculptural, yet still with a clear sense of the species' distinctive character. The head, beak, legs and the small horn-like crest are executed with hand-painted details that give the figurine life and presence. The underglaze adds depth and sheen to the surface, and it is precisely the combination of soft modelling and precise decoration that helps make this Royal Copenhagen bird figurine sought after among both collectors and those who appreciate Danish design with animal motifs.

A figurine like this fits beautifully in a display cabinet, on a shelf or as part of a collection with other bird figurines and animal figurines in porcelain. It can also stand alone as a decorative feature, where it adds personality to the home and a touch of classic Danish porcelain art. Older porcelain figurines often have a special presence because they unite craftsmanship, history and lasting quality. This also makes them an obvious choice for those who wish to decorate with things that are created to last and can continue to bring joy for many years.

If you are looking for a Royal Copenhagen guinea fowl, a bird figurine in porcelain or a figurine by Peter Herold, no. 1086 is an obvious choice with its well-known motif and its calm, decorative expression.
