Royal Copenhagen - Herold - Statue, koppel ijsvogels - 18 cm - Porcelain

This exceptional porcelain figurine of a pair of kingfishers from Royal Copenhagen, model number 1769, is a refined example of classic Danish ceramics. Elegant, tall and sculptural, this bird figure represents one of the most admired designs in Royal Copenhagen's historic animal collection.
The figurine is hand-painted according to the traditional underglaze technique and shows rich cobalt blue feathers, warm chestnut brown tones and soft ivory-colored accents, all protected by a brilliant glaze that gives remarkable depth and sheen. The kingfishers stand proudly on a naturalistic rock base, with its long beak pointed upward, creating a dramatic and elegant vertical silhouette.
The piece is fully marked on the bottom with the Royal Copenhagen crown and the stamp "Denemarken", together with the hand-painted model number, confirming authenticity and collectible value.
A striking, museum-worthy example of Scandinavian porcelain – perfect for collectors of Royal Copenhagen, vintage animal figurines and Scandinavian design.
