Royal Copenhagen Girl with golden horn figurine no. 12242, 22 cm

Royal Copenhagen figurine "Girl with golden horn" no. 12242 is a striking porcelain figurine with a strong narrative and clear historical reference. The figurine depicts a kneeling girl holding the golden horn forward in both hands, and the motif brings to mind the discovery of the golden horn at Gallehus. It is a figurine that unites Danish cultural history, craftsmanship and classic porcelain design in one overall expression.

Holger Christensen has created a human figure with calm, dignity and presence. The girl's attire is kept in soft, harmonious shades with a green upper garment, white blouse and warm peach-coloured skirt, while the horn appears in golden tones and draws attention as the figurine's natural centre. The kneeling posture and the raised presentation of the horn give the figurine a solemn and narrative character, which makes it suitable both as a collector's figurine and as a decorative porcelain figurine in the home.

On the figurine appears the inscription "Kirstine Svendsdatter found in the year 1639 at Gallehus the Golden Horn." This very text is an important part of the figurine's identity and connects the motif directly to Danish history. For collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and porcelain figurines with a historical motif, this makes the model extra interesting.

The figurine is made of porcelain with overglaze, which supports the clear colours and the smooth, lively surface. With a height of 22 cm, it has a size that makes it suitable for a display cabinet, shelf or a place where it can stand freely and be experienced from several angles. Older porcelain figurines like this often have a special ability to add personality to the home, and they are at the same time a beautiful choice for those who appreciate quality and would like to give classic craftsmanship new life.

This Royal Copenhagen figurine fits well into a collection of Danish porcelain figurines, cultural-historical motifs or Holger Christensen figurines. It is also an obvious gift idea for collectors or for someone who loves Danish design with history and soul.
