Description from the seller
Bing & Grøndahl – Set of 2 porcelain sparrows – designers Niels Nielsen – Carl Mortensen - Denmark – ca. 1950-1960
This beautiful set of two vintage porcelain sparrows is produced by the renowned Danish porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grøndahl and forms a splendid example of the refined Scandinavian design from the mid-twentieth century.
The figurines are executed in high-quality underglaze-painted porcelain and are characterized by an exceptionally lifelike modeling. The subtle color transitions, the soft glaze sheen and the refined details give both birds a lively and characterful appearance.
The set consists of two different models that complement each other beautifully:
* Model 1607 – Large singing sparrow, produced around 1950-1960 and designed by Carl Mortensen
* Model 1888 – Sparrow on rock, designed by Niels Nielsen produced with underglaze around the 1950s-1960s from the ‘Fincke series’
Bing & Grøndahl was worldwide known for its lifelike animal figurines. Thanks to the craftsmanship of its designers and painters, these figurines still belong to the most beloved collectibles within Danish porcelain.
Both figurines bear on the underside the green Bing & Grøndahl mark with the characteristic three towers, inscribed with “Made in Denmark” and the original model numbers.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
