Description from the seller

Magnificent, expressive Art Nouveau figurine group from the world-famous porcelain manufactory Royal Copenhagen in Denmark.

The depiction shows a couple (man and woman) in elegant, period-appropriate clothing.
She is wearing a long blue dress with dots.
A tuxedo with a tailcoat, a top hat, and knee-length trousers.
The marriage proposal
He presented her with a gift and proposed marriage.
She turned away from him to evaluate it and consider whether she would accept the application.
He looks curiously over her shoulder and can hardly wait for the answer.

Dreamy Jugendstil figurine that offers new details from every angle.
Beautiful underglaze hand-painted design in the typical pastel tones as is customary for Royal Copenhagen.

Draft: Christian Thomsen
Signature on the pedestal behind the man.

Height approximately 26.5 cm
Weight about 1.1 kg!

On the bottom, the green cancellation mark as used between 1889 and 1922, as well as the model number 1680; in blue, the three-wave mark and the painter's number 126.

1st choice
Good to very good condition.
Only a minimal chip on the man's cylinder (about 2mm x 1mm).
Due to manufacturing, a small, barely visible crack is present on the woman's right foot, and there are two glaze flaws at the ends of the man's tailcoat.

Shipping is carried out in a well-padded and insured package with tracking.
