Royal Copenhagen polar bear figurine 21520 in stoneware by Knud Kyhn

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 21520 is a reclining polar bear modeled by Knud Kyhn in stoneware. The figurine has a calm, almost contemplative expression, with the bear resting heavily on its front paws with its head slightly bowed forward. The light glaze emphasizes the motif's Arctic character and gives the figurine a soft, lively play across the surface.

Knud Kyhn is known for his animal figurines, and here his sure eye for both anatomy and mood is evident. The body is shaped with fine folds, defined paws and a strong, cohesive silhouette, which gives the figurine weight and presence. It is precisely that combination of naturalism and simple form that makes Royal Copenhagen bear figurines so sought-after among collectors of Danish ceramics and classic Nordic design.

This polar bear in stoneware fits beautifully into an interior where one wants a calm artistic element with history and character. It can stand alone on a shelf, in a display cabinet or on a side table, where it has room to be seen from several angles. As an older design object, it also contains that special pleasure of choosing a work that has already proven its durability and can still create atmosphere in a modern home.

For collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and for those who are fond of Knud Kyhn's animal motifs, figurine no. 21520 is a classic choice. It combines sculptural calm, Danish craft tradition and a motif that appears both powerful and subdued.
