Royal Copenhagen Great Dane figure no. 1679 Peter Herold

Royal Copenhagen Great Dane figure no. 1679 is a striking porcelain figure that combines calm, strength and classic Danish sense of form. The large dog lies relaxed with outstretched forelegs and raised head, as if it is attentively following what is happening in the room. The figure has a lifelike expression with a slender body, clearly modelled muscles and a glossy glaze that highlights both movement and anatomy.

Peter Herold has created a dog figure with a sure eye for the character of the breed. The reclining Great Dane appears both upright and balanced, and the brown-toned shades with spotted decoration give the figure life and depth. This makes it an obvious choice for collectors of Royal Copenhagen figures, for dog lovers and for those who want porcelain with personality and figurative expression.

As a porcelain figure, it fits beautifully in a bookcase, on a desk, in a display cabinet or as part of a larger collection of animal figures from Royal Copenhagen. It also works well as a gift idea for a dog friend, for the collector or for the person who appreciates Danish design with history. Older figures like this have a special charm, because they carry both craftsmanship and storytelling forward into a modern home, where quality and reuse gain new value.

The current title and description point to the classic underglaze figure, and the motif corresponds well with a Great Dane in a resting position. The figure is therefore suitable as both decorative applied art and a collector's item with a calm, characterful expression.
