Historical Background:

Bing & Grøndahl (B&G) was a Danish porcelain manufacturer founded in 1853 by Frederik Vilhelm Grøndahl and the brothers Jacob Herman Bing and Meyer Herman Bing. Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, the company became worldrenowned for its artistic and highquality porcelain figurines, often depicting animals and children. The company's hallmark, the three towers of Copenhagen's coat of arms, is a symbol of their heritage and quality. The model number "1635" indicates that these were a part of their regular production line. B&G merged with the Royal Porcelain Factory in 1987 to form Royal Copenhagen, making earlier pieces like this particularly soughtafter by collectors of classic Scandinavian design and porcelain.
