Royal Copenhagen Escape to America figurine no. 1761 overglaze

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 1761 with the title Escape to America is a porcelain figurine with a quiet, narrative atmosphere. The figurine shows a boy and a girl walking closely together, and the motif contains both care, seriousness and movement. The boy has his arm protectively around the girl, while she carries a book under her arm and holds a small pretzel in her hand. Together they create a motif that arouses curiosity and gives the figurine a special human warmth.

The design is executed by Christian Thomsen, who is known for his figurines with lively body language and fine stories in porcelain. Here this is clearly expressed in the small details: the girl's striped dress, the boy's light trousers and dark jacket, the slightly bowed heads and the calm walk forward. The overglaze decoration gives the figurine its nuanced colours and emphasises the character and depth of the motif.

This Royal Copenhagen figurine fits beautifully into a collection of Danish porcelain figurines, child figurines and classical figurative art. It is also ideal as a decorative feature in the home, where it can stand alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet or on a chest of drawers and add history, soul and personality to the room. For collectors, figurine number 1761 is an important identification, and the title Escape to America makes the model especially interesting as a narrative collector's figurine.

Older porcelain figurines like this one have a special value because they are created to be preserved and bring joy through generations. Choosing vintage porcelain is at the same time a beautiful way to bring classic craftsmanship forward into a modern home. The figurine combines Danish design history, collector's value and an atmospheric narrative in one and the same piece of porcelain.
