About the Item
The Tinder Box is a small exquisite porcelain figurine that shines like a jewel. The figures are carefully created in great detail with much attention paid to the clothes and their decorations, the crutch, the cat, etc. This porcelain was based on the Hans Christian Anderson tale of “The Tinder Box”. A soldier is returning from the wars one day when he meets a witch. She tells him that she can give him riches, if he will do a favor for her. There is a hole at the top of a nearby tree. If the soldier climbs the tree, the witch tells him, and slides down the inside of the hollow trunk, he will find himself in a great hall in the inside of the tree. Three doors come off the hall, leading through to three chambers containing treasure ……
Jens Jakob Nielsen Bregno (1877-1946) was a Danish sculptor and ceramics designer often referred to as J.J. Bregno and who signed his porcelain pieces JNB. He collaborated with Bing & Grondahl, Sax and Dahl Jensen Porcelain and designed silver for Kay Bojesen. He received the Eckersberg Medal in 1919.
He was born in Hedensted, near Horsens, the son of shoemaker Mads Nielsen and Elise Laursen, changing his name to Bregno in 1913. He was an apprentice joiner and woodcarver in Aarhus initially and then apprenticed as a stonemason in Stockholm around 1898. He worked as a decorative sculptor in stucco artist Hans Lamberg-Petersen’s workshop in Copenhagen from 1902 - 1905 and then continued his studies in Italy, France and Germany until 1908. From 1907 - 1911, Bregno created a number of ceramic works that were fired in Patrick Nordstrom’s workshop in Isley. He later created numerous statuettes for Bing & Grondahl in collaboration with the company’s artistic director Hans Tenner. He later worked for Dahl-Jensen and Nathalie Krebs’ Saxbo.
Bregno created unique works in his own name that were fired at different workshops, including Saxbo in Herley and Hjorth in Ronne on Bornholm. He also designed stoneware for Saxbo and silver for Kay Bojesen. His studio was located at Haraldsgade 18 in the Norrebro district of Copenhagen. He was a member of Knustforeningen. The Knustforeningen was an Art Society formed by a group of Art-lovers in Copenhagen who decided to form this society at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Their goal was to support the art and the artists of the time.
Until 1898, the Bing & Grondahl brand simply consisted of B&G stamped in blue. Bing & Grondahl then chose the three towers as its factory brand. The three towers are from the coat of arms of Copenhagen, showing the three towers of the castle of Absalon. The three towers have always been stamped in green. However, they continued to stamp with B&G in blue up to and including 1947.
The factory mark symbolizes Bing & Grondahl's connection to Copenhagen and the three towers have become synonymous with Bing & Grondahl in the same way that the three waves have become synonymous with Royal Copenhagen.

Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Figurine Knud Kyhn Monumental Lynx #2487
By Knud Kyhn
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
The monumental "Lynx", the snarling cat, was modeled by Royal Copenhagen artist Knud Kyhn, and created ca. 1950. It’s a monumental piece and remarkably well-preserved with an expressive snarl. The figure is marked by Royal Copenhagen Denmark as shown and numbered 2487. It is in excellent condition with no damage.
Knud Kyhn (1880-1969) was a very productive artist who throughout his life created works of art that are still valued all over the world. In Denmark, he is especially known for his many animal figurines, which he created through his many years of service at Royal Copenhagen. He worked for the Royal Porcelain Factory from 1903 - 1910, 1924 - 1932 and 1936 - 1967, interrupted only by a period of work for Herman A. Kahler in Naestved in the early 1920s and at Bing & Grondahl 1908 - 1915 and 1933 - 1935.
He was a Danish painter, draftsman and ceramic sculptor. He was the nephew of the landscape painter, Vilhelm Kahn, and was educated at the Kunstakademiet and Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler in 1904. He worked for the Royal Porcelain Factory, and a period with Herman Kahler in Naestved. He continued the tradition from the Fynbos and focused on animals and their movements as well as on the play of light in paintings...

"Princess Badoura" "Royal Doulton Prestige Collection" Porcelain HN2081
By Royal Doulton
Located in Bloomfield Hills, MI
Princess Badoura was the most prestigious and expensive figure ever made by Royal Doulton. It was made to order for wealthy clients for nearly 50 years and a special color version was devised for Harrods of London. In addition, it has 22 carat gold decorations. Three different models are on display in the Fantastique exhibit at Weiner Museum Of Decorative Arts and Princess Badoura is one of the stars of the Celebration of Ceramic Art weekend. The glazes are as rich as luxurious silk and the gold decorations are perfection. It is one of the most sought after in the Princess Badoura productions. This piece was hand-painted.
In the Tales of the Arabian Nights, Badoura is a princess of China and the most beautiful woman ever seen upon the earth. She magically falls in love in her sleep with Prince Camar of Persia thanks to the supernatural antics of two genies, who boast of their rival beauty. In defiance of their families, the young couple steadfastly refuse to marry anyone else until they are reunited after a quest for each other across Arabia. Their dreams come true and the princess travels to her wedding in great splendor on the back of an elephant. This enchanting story was illustrated by Edmund Dulac in 1907 and by George Barbier in 1922.
This spectacular piece was modeled by Harry Stanton as a centerpiece for the Wembley Exhibition in 1924 and joined the Royal Doulton's Prestige Collection in 1952. Our piece was produced in 1983 and signed by the grandson of the founder, Michael Doulton, in 1985. Each figurine required over 160 hours of intricate painting and five kiln firings before the gilders added the final embellishment of 22 carat gold. This is a limited edition of 500.
