Royal Copenhagen elephant figurine 20225 Knud Kyhn stoneware 6 cm

Royal Copenhagen elephant figurine no. 20225 is a small stoneware figurine with great presence. Knud Kyhn was among the most prominent Danish artists within animal figurines, and this is clearly felt here, where the elephant is modelled with a calm, heavy and almost contemplative appearance. The compact form and the soft lines give the figurine a vivid presence, which makes it decorative both in a collection and as a standalone figurine in the interior.

The figurine is made in stoneware and appears with a dark, Sung-glazed surface, where warm brownish shades emerge along the ears, back, legs and trunk. This gives the elephant depth and character and emphasizes the finely modelled details of the body. From the pictures, a standing elephant can be seen with a slightly lowered head, pronounced ears, small tusks and a rounded, massive body, which gives the figurine a calm and grounded expression. Precisely that sense of the animal's nature is part of what has made Knud Kyhn's animal figurines sought after among collectors of Danish ceramics and Royal Copenhagen stoneware.

This elephant figurine fits beautifully into a home where one appreciates Danish design, ceramics with history and smaller art objects with personality. It can be placed on a shelf, on a desk or in a display cabinet and also works well together with other animal figurines in stoneware. As an older design object, it contains both craftsmanship quality and the special charm that comes with things that are created to last and be appreciated for many years.
