This is the first comprehensive reference guide to 20th century porcelain models of animals and figurines made by Royal Copenhagen with underglaze decoration. For collectors and dealers alike, it will be an information source in which all the well-known pieces can be found together with many others which are rarely seen. Each example is described in detail and nearly all are accompanied by a photograph to illustrate salient points from the model profile. Each model is given a number grade by the author compiled from his judgement of its rarity, artistic merit, the quality of its sculpture, and its decoration. Several methods of dating individual items are introduced and those elements that may influence purchasing decisions are discussed. A complete list of known models, together with a values reference for secondhand examples, is included as an appendix. Includes Date Code Systems used for Underglaze Models; Conversion Table for Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl code numbers and Value Reference and Numerical List.
