Royal Copenhagen Faun with lizard no. 433 figure by Chr. Thomsen

Royal Copenhagen Faun with lizard no. 433 is an atmospheric porcelain figure in which mythology, nature and classical formal language meet in a finely balanced motif. The figure shows a small faun sitting huddled at the top of a fluted column, absorbed in playing his pan flute, while a green lizard moves up the plinth. This gives the figure life and narrative and creates a poetic meeting between the fairy-tale-like and the true-to-nature.

Christian Thomsen has created a figure with a calm and concentrated expression. The faun's thoughtful posture, the pointed ears and the small tail emphasize the mythological motif, while the tall column adds a classical touch. The color scheme in white, grey-blue and green appears harmonious and makes the figure easy to place in both modern and more traditional interiors. On the square base there is a discreet decoration in golden shades with small blue details, which gives the whole extra character.

As a Royal Copenhagen figure, this is a piece of Danish porcelain design with a clear artistic identity. The underglaze technique contributes to the soft, durable surface and the subdued color transitions that suit the motif well. Faun figures from Royal Copenhagen have for many years held a special place among collectors, and the very combination of the small pan flute, the lizard and the architectural column makes model no. 433 easily recognizable.

This porcelain figure fits beautifully in a collection of fauns, trolls and other fairy-tale figures, but also stands strongly on its own on a shelf, in a display cabinet or as a personal gift for someone who loves Danish design and figures with history. Older porcelain figures like this bring soul and personality into the home and are at the same time a beautiful choice for you who appreciate lasting craftsmanship and the joy of letting classical quality objects live on.
