Here is a Royal Copenhagen Hans Christian Andersen Figurine, Number 1383. It is a very rare and spectacular piece from the Art Nouveau period, with exquisite underglaze and overglaze painting. It is a large. (29cm tall) depiction of. The great Danish writer with flowers held behind him and his hat held before him, leaning forward with his head bowed in a pose of romantic appeal. While much of the figurine is decorated with underglaze painting, Andersen’s coat and the bouquet appear to be painted overglaze. This figurine is factory first quality, made and hand painted in Denmark before 1923. The figurine is in excellent condition. I cannot find any apparent damages — no cracks, chips or repairs. The delicate flowers in the bouquet appear to me to be intact. The square base of the figurine has slightly warped corners, so that two of the corners do not touch a flat surface. See photos, 7, 9 and 12 in particular. The figurine stands straight as it is but putting small felt pads on the base could be used to make the figurine more stable. I have done my best to carefully examine and photograph the figurine. This remains an antique, pre-owned figurine made by hand, not mass produced. There may be some small normal variations / irregularities in the painting / glaze / firing. Please examine all the photos, they are part of the description. The figurine measures approximately 11 1/2 inches tall. Please examine the photos and description carefully and reach out with any questions!
