Royal Copenhagen elephant figurine 1372 small standing elephant

This small elephant figurine from Royal Copenhagen has a calm and characterful expression, which makes it a fine addition to both the display cabinet and the personal interior. The figurine is made as a standing elephant with a raised trunk, prominent tusks and soft, rounded shapes that give the motif life and presence. The light glaze emphasizes the simple lines and highlights the figurine's calm appearance.

Axel Locher is listed as the artist, and the figurine's formal language fits beautifully into the classical tradition of Danish animal figurines in porcelain. Here, the focus is on the animal's posture and movement rather than superfluous details, which gives the figurine a timeless expression. The glossy surface and the simple color also make the elephant easy to combine with other Royal Copenhagen figurines or with other porcelain and design in the home.

A porcelain figurine like this appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen, to those who are fond of elephant figurines, and to everyone who would like to decorate with objects that have history and personality. Older porcelain figurines often carry a special soul with them, and that is precisely why they are also an obvious choice when one wishes to give classical craftsmanship new life in a contemporary interior. The figurine also works well as a gift for a collector or for someone who appreciates Danish design and decorative arts with character.
