This rare figurine, No. 1124, depicts a Spanish dancer. This is the early version in blue (the figurine was later produced in green).
Jens Peter Jensen was a prolific sculptor who worked for both Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl. In 1925, he decided to open his own business – The Dahl Jensen Porcelainfabrik in Copenhagen. Along with his son, Georg Jensen, they produced not only underglaze decorated figures but also a series of crackle glaze vases, bowls, and pots. In addition to creating many of his small animal figures modeled at other factories, he made new, more unusual figurines. The factory remained a family business, producing a small number of top-quality items. Along with his son, his wife, granddaughter, and grandson also joined the factory as artists. Out of the 400 different models, Dahl himself sculpted over half of them. He died in 1960, and the factory closed in 1985.
The figurine is in excellent condition. Please carefully examine all photos.
