Royal Copenhagen mammoth figurine no. 20207 by Knud Kyhn

Royal Copenhagen mammoth figurine no. 20207 is a striking stoneware figurine with an expression that immediately attracts attention. Knud Kyhn has given the mammoth a compact and powerful form, where the heavy legs, the curved back and the characteristic trunk and tusks create a figurine with both weight and calm. It is an animal figurine with presence, and that is precisely why it works so well as an eye-catcher in the interior.

The glaze emphasizes the figurine's lively surface. The light shades are broken up by deep brownish areas and cool bluish details, which give the stoneware play and depth. Together with the modelled grooves in the fur, the figurine takes on an almost landscape-like expression, where the surface changes character depending on the light. This makes every placement on a shelf, desk or display cabinet a new way to experience the figurine.

Knud Kyhn is known for his animal figurines, and here one senses his confident understanding of the animal's volume and character. The mammoth is not rendered naturalistically in every single detail, but interpreted with a strong sense of form, movement and materiality. This gives the figurine an artistic expression that appeals both to collectors of Royal Copenhagen and to those who appreciate Danish design with history.

An older stoneware figurine like this brings personality into the home and is at the same time a fine choice for you who value lasting quality objects over new production. It can stand alone as sculptural decoration or be combined with other animal figurines in ceramics and porcelain for a more unified expression. As a gift, it is an obvious choice for the collector, the design enthusiast or the person who appreciates Royal Copenhagen and Knud Kyhn's characterful design language.
