Royal Copenhagen boy in swimming trunks figurine no. 1786

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 1786 depicts a little boy standing in swimming trunks at the water's edge. The motif exudes summer, beach life and the quiet concentration that arises in a child's encounter with the water. The figurine is modelled with soft, natural movements, where the boy's slightly bowed head and cautious posture give the motif life and presence.

The light, delicate colour scheme underscores the calm atmosphere. The light blue swimming trunks, the light base with water effect and the rock-like shape behind the child create a fine story of bathing life by the coast. The curls, the placement of the hands and the slightly inquisitive pose make the figurine lively to look at, and it functions both as a porcelain figurine, a child figurine and as a classic Danish design object with a poetic expression.

The figurine is designed by Christian Thomsen and made in porcelain with underglaze, which suits Royal Copenhagen's tradition of refined modelling and durable, harmonious glazes beautifully. Children's figurines from Royal Copenhagen in particular have for many years been sought after among collectors, because they unite craftsmanship, storytelling and timeless charm in a format that is easy to fit into the home.

As a vintage porcelain figurine, this boy in swimming trunks brings both history and personality into the décor. It is ideal on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as part of a collection of child figurines and other classic figurines from Royal Copenhagen. It can also be a meaningful gift for someone who is fond of Danish porcelain, maritime atmosphere and figurines with motifs from childhood and summer life.
