Royal Copenhagen, Denmark
Ceramic elephant — model 21517 — 'sun glaze style'
1937.

Beautiful ceramic elephant from Royal Copenhagen made by the renowned Danish artist Knud Kyhn, Denmark.

The image shows a powerfully modeled elephant with an upright trunk (traditionally a symbol of happiness), executed in a beautiful reactive 'sun glaze' style glaze. This glaze creates a lively marbled pattern in warm brown, cream, and tobacco tones — a technique characteristic of Kyhn’s animal figures.
