"Royal Copenhagen - Eel No 462"
A very rare porcelain figurine from the Royal Copenhagen Manufactory depicting an eel, a marine subject uncommon in the factory's production. The sculpture highlights the sinuous movement of the body, rendered with great fluidity, while the gradations of blue and gray accurately depict the smooth, glossy appearance of the skin. The reverse bears the mark of three blue waves and the model number 462, without any scratches, attesting to a piece of the highest quality. A decorative work of character, sought after by collectors of Scandinavian porcelain and marine animal subjects. Length 10 cm
