Royal Copenhagen schoolgirl figurine no. 4503 by Holger Christensen

The schoolgirl figurine no. 4503 from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figurine with a calm and thoughtful expression. The motif shows a girl standing with her hands clasped at her chest, wearing a blue dress, stockings and a long white cape or collar that falls down over her shoulders and back. The calm posture and the soft shapes give the figurine a quiet story of childhood, school life and everyday moments captured in porcelain.

Holger Christensen has created a child figurine where the expression is carried by the small details in posture, face and attire. The classic blue shades and the glossy underglaze emphasize the familiar Royal Copenhagen expression, where craftsmanship, motif and glaze work beautifully together. The figurine has a traditional formal language, which makes it ideal for collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and for you who are fond of porcelain figurines with human presence.

As a decorative figurine, this schoolgirl fits nicely on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as part of a collection of child figurines from the Royal Copenhagen and B&G universe. It is also an obvious gift idea for collectors, for the porcelain enthusiast or for a home where classic Danish design and figurines with history are allowed to set the mood. Older porcelain figurines like this one carry both craftsmanship and cultural history with them, and they are also a sustainable choice when beautiful quality objects are allowed to live on in new surroundings.

This Royal Copenhagen figurine combines collector's value, nostalgic motif and classic Danish porcelain tradition. A figurine like this creates personality in the interior and speaks to both those who collect porcelain figurines and those who simply want one well-chosen figurine with soul.
