The Polar Fox and Her Cubs from Royal Copenhagen
Royal Copenhagen has added four charming new figurines to the Motherly Love series: the polar fox and her cubs.
New mothers and animal lovers everywhere, would be delighted to receive one of these beautiful new ornaments as a gift.
Â
Danish artist Allan Therkelsen created the Motherly Love series in 2002, taking his inspiration from animals of the cold regions of Northern Scandinavia.
Allan says, ‘I have used porcelain as the best material to express the animals’ concern for each other, their playfulness and the slightly wispy look they sometimes have.’
Â
These animals live in conditions that test their survival instincts to the full. A cub or pup on its own is easy prey, so the mother’s protection is all-important in its early life.
