Royal Copenhagen Faun with Bear figurine no. 1804, 20 cm

Royal Copenhagen Faun with Bear figurine no. 1804 is a characterful porcelain figurine with a strong narrative and a vivid formal language. The motif shows a faun sitting on the back of a bear, and the interplay between the two figures gives the figurine both movement, fantasy, and a special Nordic atmosphere. It is a figurine that immediately attracts attention in the interior and appeals to collectors with an interest in classic animal and fable motifs.

Knud Kyhn is known for his organic forms and his sure sense of animals and nature, and this is clearly felt here. The bear is modelled with a powerful, rounded body and calm lines, while the faun adds lightness and mythological poetry to the motif. The glaze in greyish and light shades emphasizes the depth of the figurine and gives the surface a soft, lively expression that beautifully suits Royal Copenhagen's underglaze tradition.

This porcelain figurine is an obvious fit for a collection of Royal Copenhagen figurines, fauns, or Knud Kyhn designs, but it can also stand alone as a striking art object on a shelf, in a display cabinet, or on a side table. The combination of bear and faun makes the model interesting for both collectors of animal figurines and those who appreciate adventurous and mythological motifs in home decor.

A figurine like this contains both Danish design history and fine craftsmanship. It is created in porcelain and executed in underglaze, which gives a classic and durable expression. For the collector, figurine no. 1804 is a sought-after motif with a clear identity, and for the design enthusiast, it is a decorative figurine with personality and narrative.
