Royal Copenhagen Mandarin Ducks figure 1863 Peter Herold

Royal Copenhagen figure no. 1863 depicts a pair of mandarin ducks gathered on a low base and is designed by Peter Herold. The figure has the calm, lifelike expression that many collectors and interior enthusiasts seek in classic Danish bird figures, and it combines soft shapes with a fine, painterly decoration. According to available product information and comparable registrations, the model is made in porcelain with decoration under the glaze.

The motif is atmospheric and harmonious. The upright duck is rendered with characteristic fields in blue, green, beige and grey shades, while the reclining duck is kept in more subdued brown-grey tones with light markings. Together they create a lively composition, where the birds rest closely between reeds and the water's edge on the light base. This gives the figure both movement and calm and makes it suitable as an eye-catcher in the display cabinet, on the shelf or as part of an arrangement with other Danish porcelain and bird art.

As an older porcelain figure, this model also contains the special charm found in classic decorative art and collector's items with history. It is an obvious choice for those who appreciate Royal Copenhagen, bird figures and Danish design with lasting quality. The figure fits nicely into a home where one likes to mix newer interior design with selected objects that add personality, craftsmanship and soul.

Mandarin ducks are also a popular motif among collectors because the bird pair unites a nature motif with decorative strength. Several registrations of the model also state a height of around 19 cm and a length of around 22 cm, which underlines that this is a figure with a fine presence.
