Royal Copenhagen The Princess and the Swineherd figurine no. 1114

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 1114, "The Princess and the Swineherd", is an atmospheric porcelain figurine with a distinct fairy-tale character. The figurine depicts a young couple in a close and intimate moment, where they lean toward each other in a motif that immediately evokes associations with classic fairy tales, romance and a theatrical atmosphere. This makes the figurine an obvious choice for collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines and for those who are fond of porcelain figurines with a story.

The composition is lively and full of movement. The princess stands in a light dress with small decorated details and lightly lifts her skirt, while the swineherd stands opposite her in a green jacket, dark knee breeches and with a hat in his hand. Together they form a figurine group with fine balance, where posture, facial expressions and the soft folds in the clothing give the motif character and presence. The glazed surface simultaneously highlights the figurine's calm play of colours and the classic porcelain feel.

The figurine is designed by Christian Thomsen and executed in underglaze, which emphasizes its place in the Danish porcelain tradition for which Royal Copenhagen is known. Precisely the combination of fairy-tale motif, modelling and craftsmanship quality makes this porcelain figurine interesting both as decoration and as a collector's item. It fits beautifully in a display cabinet, on a shelf or as part of an arrangement with other figurine groups and classic porcelain figurines.

Older figurines like this have a special ability to add personality and history to the home. They are made to last and can continue to create joy in modern interiors, where they bring warmth, culture and character into the room. For collectors of Royal Copenhagen, fairy-tale figurines and Danish porcelain figurines, "The Princess and the Swineherd" no. 1114 is a motif that both tells a story and represents enduring craftsmanship.
