The Little Mermaid figurine
Perhaps it has something to do with my Danish heritage, or maybe it’s just the fascination that we seem to have with mermaids, but I’ve always love the image of the Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale! Isn’t she just so beautiful? She might be a far cry from the original statue that sits in Copenhagen, but this vintage ceramic version is still quite lovely! There;s no maker’s mark that I can see, but she’s still a decent quality figurine, with absolutely no signs of wear.
A lovely piece for your bookshelf or mantelpiece, or your little girl’s dressing table.
