Royal Copenhagen The Soldier and the Dog from The Tinderbox figure no. 1156

The Soldier and the Dog from The Tinderbox is a Royal Copenhagen figure with a clear narrative and lots of character. The motif draws inspiration from H.C. Andersen's fairy tale and shows the soldier in motion with the dog held close in his arms. This gives the figure a lively expression, where drama, humor and fairy-tale atmosphere are brought together in one porcelain figure.

The figure is designed with many fine details, which make the motif easy to immerse yourself in. The soldier is seen in a blue uniform with a tall hat, backpack and sabre, while the dog is depicted with a distinctive and expressive face. The small chest and the checked textile emphasize the narrative character of the scene and naturally connect the figure to The Tinderbox. The colors in blue, white and shades of brown give a classic expression that fits beautifully into a collection of Danish porcelain and fairy-tale figures.

This porcelain figure is designed by Christian Thomsen for Royal Copenhagen and executed in underglaze. It is a figure that appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figures and to you who appreciate Danish design with motif and story. The combination of craftsmanship, narrative and classic porcelain makes it ideal as a collector's figure, but also as a personal gift for someone who loves H.C. Andersen, fairy tales or Danish porcelain art.

Older figures like this one have a special ability to add soul and personality to the home. They are created to last and to be appreciated for many years, and precisely for that reason they are also a sustainable choice. A figure with history like this can be given new life in a modern interior, where it can stand both alone in a display cabinet, on a shelf or together with other figures from Royal Copenhagen.
