This porcelain sea lion figurine, crafted in Denmark by Bing & Grøndahl during the 1970s, captures the animal in a poised, upright stance—conveying focused alertness at the water’s edge. The primary color is a deep, saturated charcoal grey with a pronounced glossy, almost mirror-like finish that plays with light and shadow across every contour. The chest and lower jaw seamlessly transition to warm beige and gentle brown tones, accentuating the lifelike fluidity of the musculature. The even glaze, perfectly smooth surface, and absence of visible seams highlight meticulous craftsmanship. Measuring 19 × 21 × 12 cm, the figurine remains in its original condition, with only expected minor traces of age typical for vintage pieces from this period—no chips, cracks, or substantial wear visible.Contained within its porcelain form, the sea lion reflects the Scandinavian reverence for nature and understated simplicity. This object carries echoes of the 1970s, when Danish design balanced realistic detail with refined stylization. The interplay of cool graphite and warm beige tells a story of quiet strength and delicate calm—as if movement and alertness have been distilled into permanent, sculptural stillness.The figurine can be displayed on a minimalist light-wood console or paired with glazed ceramics in muted tones. It may be placed beside a lamp with a milky-white shade or set against linen, emphasizing the gentle reflections on its glossy surface. It fits seamlessly into Scandinavian interiors, where organic lines find their natural context, as well as in collector’s arrangements blending objects from different decades.No special maintenance required—simply dust gently with a soft, dry cloth
