Royal Copenhagen elephant stoneware figurine no. 22714, 23 cm

This elephant figurine from Royal Copenhagen has a calm and present expression that makes it easy to notice in the décor. The figurine depicts a reclining elephant with its front legs forward and its head slightly lowered, so that it appears both heavy, secure and lively all at once. The dark glaze gives the figure depth, while the warm brownish shades along edges and folds highlight the modelling and give the surface character.

As a stoneware figurine, it has a particular weight and materiality that suits the motif well. The elephant's round body, pronounced ears, soft folds and calm face are executed with fine details, but without the expression becoming too contrived. It is precisely the balance between the simple and the detailed that makes this Royal Copenhagen figurine a strong choice for collectors of Danish animal figurines and for those who appreciate classic Scandinavian ceramics and stoneware.

Elephant figurines are popular both as decorative collector's items and as personal touches in the home. This model looks beautiful on a shelf, in a display cabinet, on a side table or as part of a larger collection of animal figurines from Royal Copenhagen. The dark colour makes it easy to combine with both light porcelain, wood, glass and other natural materials. At the same time, it is a figurine with history and soul, which carries older Danish design forward into a contemporary home in a way that is both beautiful and sustainable.

For many, older figurines in particular are something special because they bear the mark of fine craftsmanship and a design that endures over time. Here you get an elephant in stoneware that works both as a decorative figurine, gift idea and collector's piece, and which still has plenty to contribute today.
