Please note: Royal Copenhagen has marked all their 2nd quality products with a small scratch in the glaze on the factory mark at the bottom of the product (through the Three Waves) - last photoIt doesn't affect the overall impression.Often, it is quite small things that make Royal Copenhagen choose to sell items as 2nd quality. It can be a small color defect, a black spot, a scratch, or a small mark, etc. - These manufacturing errors often do not affect the overall impression much. I couldn't find any imperfection in this figurine.
About the artist:
Knud Kyhn was a Danish painter and sculptor. He worked at Royal Copenhagen for several periods: 1904-1910, 1924-1932 and 1936-1968. In between he developed his skills by working at Bing & Grøndahl (1908-1915, 1933-1935) and Herman A Kähler (1920-1924). At Kähler he met the painter Julie Bloch, to whom he married in 1922. In 1936 the two of them started a small pottery, from where design in his own name were sold.His stoneware figurines, featuring very naturalistic animals with fine details, became one of the largest figurines successes of Royal Copenhagen.
