Royal Copenhagen Greenlandic woman figurine no. 12224

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 12224 depicts a Greenlandic woman in national costume, executed with great attention to both the costume's patterns and the figure's calm, dignified expression. On the base stands the text "GREENLAND", which emphasizes the motif's geographical and cultural connection and makes the figurine easy to identify for collectors of folk costume figurines and older porcelain figurines from the Royal Porcelain Factory.

The figurine was modeled by Carl Martin-Hansen and executed in porcelain with overglaze. The warm red upper part, the detailed beaded collar, the patterned trousers and the high boots give the figurine a vivid and characteristic expression. From several angles, the decorative base with rock formation behind the figure can also be seen, which adds depth to the motif and makes it suitable as a display figurine in a display cabinet, on a shelf, or as part of a collection of national costumes and cultural-historical porcelain figurines.

This Royal Copenhagen figurine belongs to the series of folk costume figurines, where costume, posture and facial features help tell a story about people, place and tradition. Precisely for that reason, it appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines, to those interested in Greenland and Nordic cultural history, and to those who want a figurine with more personality and narrative than mass-produced decoration.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special ability to add soul and character to the home. They are created to last for generations, and when they are given a new place in a modern home, it is also a beautiful way to unite fine craftsmanship, collector's joy and sustainable use of quality objects with history.
