figurine made by Bing & Grøndahl of Copenhagen,

this. Sculpture stands on flat pedestal. Looks splendid. Artist Michaela

Bing & Grondahl (B&G) was
founded in 1853 and existed until 1987, when Royal Copenhagen merged with
Bing and Grondahl. B & G, Bing & Grondahl refer to the founders:
Fred. Vilh. Grøndahl (1819-1856), technical director; the brothers M.H.
Bing (1819 - 1883) and J.H. Bing (1811 -1896) as economical directors. This
figurine is marked with three towers in green. This hallmark comes from the
City Coat of Arms of Copenhagen. ‘B&G’ printed below the tower in
green, ‘Kjøbenhavn’ printed in green semi-circle and ‘Made in Denmark’
identify production of 1952-1957. There
are also ‘B&G’ printed in blue and code ‘1759’ as well as production
painter initials ‘SV’ in green. We do not know the name of this artist.
This figurine is fully discontinued now.

on the base and stands 6” tall. Condition is immaculate with no chips or
