DESCRIPTION
A charming Royal Copenhagen white porcelain Owl, Model 1741, designed by Theodor Madsen and finished in a clean glossy white glaze.
Standing only 8.5 cm high, this is an attractive and accessible example of Royal Copenhagenās celebrated animal and bird figurines. Its restrained colouring, softly modelled feather detail and compact form give it the simple Scandinavian character associated with Danish porcelain design.

The figurine is modelled in a quiet upright pose with softly defined plumage, dark facial detail and a glossy white finish.
