Royal Copenhagen The Princess and the Swineherd figurine no. 1114

"The Princess and the Swineherd" from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figurine with a distinct fairy-tale atmosphere and a motif that immediately brings to mind H.C. Andersen's well-known tale. The figurine captures the intimate moment between the princess and the swineherd, where the two lean in toward each other in a kiss, full of both play, theater, and romance.

The motif is modeled with great attention to movement and character. The princess stands in a full white dress with small floral decorations and golden details, while the swineherd is dressed in a green coat, brown trousers, and white stockings. In his hand he holds his hat, and on the base a rake and a hat can also be seen on the ground, which emphasizes the figurine's narrative and theatrical expression. The overglaze colors give the figurine warmth, gloss, and fine nuances that suit the motif's fairy-tale character.

The figurine is designed by Christian Thomsen and is a good example of Royal Copenhagen's classic figurative art, where storytelling, craftsmanship, and porcelain merge into a higher unity. As a fairy-tale figurine and collector's figurine, it appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and to you who are fond of Danish porcelain with literary and decorative depth.

A figurine like this adds personality and cultural history to the home. It fits beautifully in a display cabinet, on a shelf, or as part of a collection of fairy-tale figurines, theater figurines, or classic porcelain figurines. At the same time, it is a charming gift idea for the person who appreciates Danish design, fairy tales, and porcelain with history.

Older porcelain figurines like this are also a fine choice for you who appreciate quality objects created to last a long time. Choosing figurative art with history is a beautiful way to give good craftsmanship new life and let it continue to create joy in a modern home.
