NOTED ANIMAL SCULPTOR
NIELS GUNDER KNUDSEN (1916-1985)
HAND-SCULPTED DANISH ART POTTERY
BIRD FIGURINE/
SCULPTURE/STATUE
FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION!
SWEET, ROUND-CHESTED UNIQUE STUDIO POTTERY
BIRD SCULPTURE
THIS UNIQUE BIRD IS IN VERY GOOD
MID-CENTURY CONDITION,
WITH NO KNOWN FLAWS.
IT WAS CREATED IN DENMARK IN THE MID-CENTURY BY
THE DANISH ARTIST, NIELS GUNDER KNUDSEN. HE
SIGNED HIS INITIALS, NGK, INTO THE BASE OF THIS BIRD.
IN ADDITION, IT IS ALSO STAMPED
"MADE IN DENMARK" ON THE BASE AS WELL.
NGK WAS A NOTED ANIMAL SCULPTOR AND NATURALIST.
HE CREATED ART USING VARIOUS MEDIUMS-
BRONZE, PLASTER, STONEWARE, WOOD AND CERAMIC.
HE STUDIED NATURE AND WAS ESPECIALLY NOTED FOR
HIS CERAMIC TECHNIQUES FEATURING ANIMALS.
THIS SWEET BIRD WAS PART OF MY MOTHER'S BIRD COLLECTION.
SHE LOVED TO TRAVEL AND TRAVELED THE WORLD COLLECTING BIRD ART.
SHE WAS FOND OF EXPLORING HER NATIVE DENMARK AND DISCOVERING
LOCAL DANISH ARTISANS WHO HAD THEIR OWN STUDIO POTTERIES.
FROM WHAT I COULD RESEARCH, THIS LOOKS LIKE A ROBIN TO ME,
BUT I AM NOT A BIRD PERSON.
THIS SCULPTURE IS DECORATED IN SEVERAL SHADES OF BROWN WITH CREAM ACCENTS
AROUND THE TAIL AND BELOW THE BEAK. IT HAS A WIDE, ROUNDED CHEST
THAT IS A LIGHT FLESH-TONED COLOR, SIMILAR TO A SOFT, LIGHT ORANGE.
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:
THIS BIRD STANDS ABOUT 3 INCHES TALL
IT IS ABOUT 2 INCHES WIDE AT THE CHEST
AND IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG FROM THE TIP OF THE TAIL
TO THE FRONT OF THE BIG, ROUNDED CHEST
THIS LOVELY BIRD IS A SPECIAL PIECE OF MID CENTURY DANISH ART.
IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE SERIOUS BIRD COLLECTOR
WHO HAS EVERYTHING!
