Royal Copenhagen Large Amager Girl knitting figure no. 099 or 1317

This large seated Amager Girl from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figurine with calm, presence, and a clear story. The figurine shows a young woman in national costume, absorbed in her handicraft, while she sits on a small stool and knits. The motif is quiet and concentrated, and that is precisely what makes the figurine so vivid in its expression. For collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and porcelain figurines with folk costumes, this is a model that has both character and cultural-historical appeal.

Lotte Benter designed the figurine with an eye for both posture and costume. In the pictures, the classic Amager costume can be seen in blue, grey, and white tones, with a dark bonnet, shawl over the shoulders, and a long white skirt that falls softly around the seated figurine. The hands are gathered around the knitting, and the whole composition has a natural calm that suits the motif. It is a figurine that fits beautifully among other human figures, national costumes, and older Royal Copenhagen models.

As a porcelain figurine, it combines decorative value with the story of Danish everyday life, tradition, and handicraft. An Amager Girl like this adds personality to the home and fits nicely in both classic and modern surroundings, where it can stand alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as part of a collection with figurines from Danish environments and folk types. For many, precisely such older porcelain figurines are also a meaningful way to choose quality and give beautiful craftsmanship new life.

It is at the same time an obvious gift idea for the collector of Royal Copenhagen, for the one who is fond of Danish design history, or for the one who appreciates figurines with a clear motif and a warm, human atmosphere. The figurine is made of porcelain and stated as underglaze decorated, which supports the soft and harmonious play of colors.
