Literature:

The vase presented here is a unique piece by the painter and sculptor Knud Kyhn (1880-1969). He worked for the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Copenhagen and the porcelain manufactory Bing & Grøndahl in alternating periods. He trained at the Artist Study School in Copenhagen, after which he fired his first ceramics in 1900. Three years later, he exhibited at the Royal Copenhagen Manufactory - his works were characterised by harmonious colours and lively modelling and found a large number of buyers. In the following years, he regularly produced unique pieces for the manufactory. His many animal figurines became particularly well known. The end of the 19th century was a great time for depictions of animals of all kinds. Pets, however, were rarely depicted. In this sense, the present vase is a special piece. .
