Royal Copenhagen figurine 12417 Girl in regional costume from Slesvig

Royal Copenhagen figurine 12417 depicts a girl in regional costume from Slesvig, seated with her arms full of flowers. It is a porcelain figurine with a calm and present expression, where both posture and clothing tell of Danish cultural history and the special identity of the local costumes. The figurine has a fine balance between storytelling and craftsmanship, and that is precisely why this type of regional costume figurine is still sought after among collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and classic Danish porcelain.

The girl is modelled seated on the ground with a flower wreath and loose flowers around her and in her arms. In the pictures, a striped skirt can be seen in blue, light and warm shades, a blue bodice, white blouse as well as scarf and headwear with decorative details in red, pink and light tones. The many small flowers give the figurine life and colour, while the face is executed with a gentle and thoughtful expression.

The design is by Carl Martin-Hansen, and the specified overglaze technique supports the figurine's rich play of colours and the many small details in the costume. It is a figurine that fits beautifully into a collection of folk costume figurines, porcelain figurines or other motifs with Danish tradition and regional history. At the same time, it works beautifully on its own in a bookcase, a display cabinet or as part of a personal arrangement with other older handicrafts and decorative arts.

Older porcelain figurines like this contain a special charm because they bring history, craftsmanship and personality into the home. Choosing a figurine with history is also a way to appreciate quality items that are created to last and can continue to bring joy generation after generation. For the collector of Royal Copenhagen or for the one who is fond of figurines with a cultural-historical motif, this is an atmospheric choice.
