Sculptural composition "Monkeys". Made of porcelain, decorated with underglaze painting. Manufactory "Bing and Gröndal". Denmark, XX century

The famous factory "Bing and Gröndal" is a vivid example in the history of Danish porcelain of a promising community of original artistic ideas and entrepreneurial ideas. In 1853, the painter and sculptor Frederik Wilhelm Gröndal and the merchant brothers Meyer Hermann and Jakob Hermann Bing signed a lucrative contract to set up a new porcelain factory.

The company's goal was to create porcelain figurines from bisque, copying the neoclassical work of the famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
