Royal Copenhagen fox figurine no. 557 by Christian Thomsen

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 557 depicts a fox in a vivid and attentive moment. The figurine is modelled with the body low over the surface, the tail drawn softly around the body and the head raised, so that the expression gains both movement and presence. The warm brownish shades, the white details at the snout, chest and paws, as well as the greenishly toned oval-shaped base emphasise the motif's natural character and give the figurine a calm, classic expression.

This porcelain figurine is made after a model by Christian Thomsen, who is known for his animal figurines with fine observation of anatomy and attitude. Here, the fox is not presented as pure decoration alone, but as a small story in porcelain. The large ears, the alert posture and the soft glaze give the figurine personality, and it is precisely this that makes Royal Copenhagen animal figurines attractive for both collectors and for those who want a piece of Danish porcelain art in their interior.

An older figurine like this also contains something special by virtue of its history. Quality figurines in porcelain are created to last for generations, and that makes them a beautiful and sustainable choice for a modern home. The figurine fits nicely in a display cabinet collection, on a shelf with classic Danish design or as a gift for a collector of fox figurines, Royal Copenhagen figurines or porcelain animals. The oval base with fluted details along the edge provides a beautiful finish and supports the well-worked overall impression.
