Eider Royal Copenhagen stoneware figurine no. 21410 Knud Kyhn

This eider from Royal Copenhagen is an atmospheric stoneware figurine, in which Knud Kyhn has captured the bird's calm nature in a compact and characterful form. The figurine stands solidly on a low base, and the slightly raised neck, the rounded breast and the folded wings give the motif a natural calmness that suits both classic and modern interiors. For collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and for those who are fond of bird figurines in stoneware, this is a model with clear personality.

The glaze plays a major role in the expression. Here, deep dark shades can be seen over the wings and back, light areas on the neck and breast as well as a blue-green sheen in the base, which gives the figurine life and variation. The uneven, organic transitions in the glaze emphasize the handmade character and suit the bird motif beautifully. It is precisely this combination of nature study, materiality and Danish ceramic tradition that makes Knud Kyhn's animal figurines so sought after.

Knud Kyhn is known for his vivid depictions of animals, and in this eider one senses his assured eye for both volume and movement. The figurine appears calm and composed, but at the same time it has a fine springiness in the turn of the head and the fullness of the body. As a stoneware figurine, it has a weight and warmth that make it suitable as a striking feature on a shelf, in a display cabinet or together with other bird figurines, animal figurines and Danish design.

Older figurines like this contain a special joy because they are created to last and can still find a natural place in the home. This also makes it a good choice for those who appreciate design with history and would like to decorate with quality objects that can live on through generations. A Royal Copenhagen stoneware figurine of this type is both a collector's item and a decorative gift idea for the one who is fond of birds, ceramics and Danish design.
