Royal Copenhagen nurse figurine no. 156 or 4507

This Royal Copenhagen figurine depicts a nurse in a classic uniform and is a fine occupational figurine with a calm, present expression. The figurine stands with a slightly bowed head and holds a small cup in her hand, which gives the motif a quiet and human story from everyday life in care and nursing. The white dress, the blue bodice and the white cap emphasize the period-typical expression and make the figurine easily recognizable as a nurse.

The porcelain figurine is designed by J. M. Nissen for Royal Copenhagen and executed in underglaze. This gives the surface its characteristic gloss and the clear, calm colors that suit the motif's simple dignity beautifully. The figurine is modeled with a sense for both posture and movement, from the crossed apron ties on the back to the discreet twist in the body, which makes the figurine appear lively from several angles.

As a collector's figurine and porcelain figurine, this nurse appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and to those seeking a figurine related to healthcare, care or Danish occupational history. It fits beautifully in a collection of human figurines, craft figurines and other figurines with motifs from working life and everyday life. At the same time, it is a personal gift idea for a nurse, a former colleague or a collector who is fond of classic Danish porcelain.

Older porcelain figurines like this have a special ability to bring history and personality into the home. They are created to last, to be cared for and to be given new life in new surroundings. That is precisely why vintage and older design are also a beautiful choice for you who appreciate good craftsmanship and sustainable joy in things with soul.
