Description: BING & GRONDAHL #7036 European Dove Large BING & GRONDAHL (B & G) stoneware figurine of a European Dove (similar to the American mourning dove, which is also known as a Carolina Pigeon) with a small head, rosy pink breast and squared off tail. Designed by Karl Otto Johansen (signed K.oTTo. on the base) and beautifully detailed in the best Bing & Grondahl tradition. Approximately 12.6 inches (32 cm) tall, 11.8 inches (30 cm) long and 5 inches (13 cm) wide. Large, impressive and heavy. Appropriately marked on the bottom, including the three tower trademark of Bing & Grondahl. This model was only made stoneware; never in the more traditional glazed porcelain. THIS exact figurine appears on Page 206 of the book BING & GRONDAHL Figurines (©2002) by Caroline and Nick Pope. The Popes visited me while collecting material for their book and took many photos of unusual items in my collection, including this figurine, plus most of the figurines on page 217, and all the figurines on page 218, among others. All the figurines on page 218 are literally “unique” (meaning only one was ever made). I purchased all of these when I was given a private tour of the B&G factory after it had closed, following the merger of B&G with Royal Copenhagen in 1987. NB: The size for this figurine in the Popes’ book is incorrectly listed as 20 cm; actual size is 32 cm (12.6 inches). EXCELLENT CONDITION (no chips, cracks, repairs or other defects), and FIRST QUALITY (no scratch through the trademark). RETURNABLE for a full refund if item not as described. Please ask your questions before bidding. SHIPPING, HANDLING and INSURANCE within the United States is just $29.95 for this eBay item. COMBINED SHIPPING!
