Royal Copenhagen Crouching Polar Bear by Knud Kyhn








Royal Copenhagen Crouching Polar Bear by Knud Kyhn
Proof that white can have depth…
This isn’t for your grandmother’s porcelain menagerie, it’s fur texture meets Nordic cool. Knud Kyhn knew his way around a glaze brush, and this bear proves it. Reflective, sculptural, and frankly serving Art Deco polar drama.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
