Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 1644 Woman with children

Bing & Grøndahl figurine no. 1644 depicts a woman seated with two children close around her in a calm and warm everyday motif. The figurine radiates closeness, care and family life, and it is precisely the quiet contact between mother and children that makes the motif timeless. One arm is placed protectively around the boy, while the girl leans in towards the woman's lap, so that the entire composition gathers into an intimate and harmonious scene.

The porcelain figurine is designed by Ingeborg Plockross-Irminger, who is known for her sensitive and human figures. Here a soft formal language is seen with fine movements and a subdued palette, where white porcelain, greyish shades and blue details in the children's clothing create life without seeming dominant. The woman sits on a chair, and the figurine's structure gives the motif both height and calm, so that it works beautifully as an eye-catcher in a display cabinet, on a shelf or on a chest of drawers.

The motif makes this Bing & Grøndahl figurine ideal for collectors of Danish porcelain figurines and for those who are fond of figures with family, motherhood and children as a theme. It is also well suited as a gift idea for a mother, for a home with a love of classic Danish design or as a personal figurine with history and soul. Older porcelain figurines like this not only bring craftsmanship and cultural history into the interior, but are also a sustainable choice when beautiful quality objects are allowed to live on in new homes.

The underglaze technique contributes to the calm and durable expression that many associate with classic figurines from Bing & Grøndahl. It is a figurine one can return to again and again, because the motif contains warmth, narrative and recognizability.
