Royal Copenhagen mouse on corn cob figurine no. 512 Erik Nielsen

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 512 depicts a small mouse on a corn cob and is a charming example of Danish porcelain design with an eye for both nature and storytelling. The motif is lively and immediately recognizable: the white mouse sits on top of the brownish corn cob with its head raised, delicate pink ears, small paws, and a long tail that follows the movement of the form backward. This gives the figurine a natural expression and a calm, humorous presence.

The figurine is designed by Erik Nielsen and made in porcelain with underglaze, which emphasizes Royal Copenhagen's classic quality and attention to detail. The contrast between the light mouse and the darker corn cob highlights the motif beautifully, and the modeled kernels give the figurine structure and depth. It is precisely this combination of naturalism, craftsmanship, and discreet storytelling that makes mouse figurines from Royal Copenhagen sought after among both collectors and those who appreciate smaller porcelain figurines with personality.

A figurine like this fits nicely on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or as part of a collection of animal figurines and classic Danish porcelain. It can also be an obvious gift idea for a collector or for someone who appreciates small decorative objects with character. Older porcelain figurines like this bring history and soul into the home and are at the same time a beautiful choice for those who would like to give fine craftsmanship new life.
