Bing & Grøndahl Pekingese figure no. 1986, 9 cm

This Bing & Grøndahl dog figure depicts a seated Pekingese with a calm, slightly thoughtful expression and a fine, natural posture. The soft modelling and the warm brownish spots against the white glaze bring the figure to life, while the long ears, the short muzzle and the large eyes clearly highlight the breed's distinctive character. It is a porcelain figure that appeals both to dog lovers and to collectors of classic Danish porcelain.

The figure is designed by Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen, who is known for his lively and observant animal figures. Here the Pekingese is rendered in a quiet moment, where the form and facial expression are allowed to carry the entire story. The underglaze decoration gives the surface depth and a beautiful, glossy finish, which suits the figure's calm expression and makes it suitable as a decorative detail in both classic and modern interiors.

As a vintage porcelain figure, it also contains the special charm that comes with older quality design. It fits nicely on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as part of a collection of Bing & Grøndahl animal figures. It is also an obvious gift idea for someone who is fond of dogs, Danish design history or porcelain figures with personality and history. It is precisely the combination of recognisable motif, strong design and Danish porcelain craftsmanship that makes this Pekingese figure a piece of applied art that one wants to keep and enjoy for many years.
