Bing & Grondahl Current & Recent Figurines

Condition:  All of the following figurines are Mint Condition and First Quality. Sizes (in inches) may be the maximum dimension or may refer only to the height, even when the figurine is longer or wider than high.  

Figurine Numbers:  In 1987, Royal Copenhagen merged with Bing and Grondahl (B&G), the other leading Danish porcelain manufacturer.  Shortly thereafter, all figurines in production were given new three digit model numbers. Figurines previously made by Bing and Grondahl are now marked Royal Copenhagen and have new figurine numbers of 400 or higher.  In addition, all new numbers have a four digit prefix that further identifies the figurine: 1020- for Animals or 1021- for People.  For example, "Reading Children" used to be B&G #1567; it is now marked Royal Copenhagen #402 and has a full inventory number of 1021-402.  Most of the figurines I have in stock have the old B&G Mark and figurine number.

I have listed here all figurines that have the new numbers, incuding all currently produced figurines and those discontinued since the new numbers were introduced.  All figurines that have been assigned new numbers must have been in production at some time since 1988.  All figurines discontinued PRIOR to 1988 (and which have never been assigned new numbers) are on my separate list of Discontinued Figurines. (Click HERE to go to that list.)  Figurines discontinued after 1988 are indicated below with "Disc-" (for Discontinued) appearing in the Prefix column.

I have included new numbers, old numbers (if applicable) and MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, or "List Price").   Most new figurines are no longer stocked by the US importer; they must be special ordered which can take a year or more.  Items that are discontinued do not have a current MSRP;  I have included the last  available MSRP in parentheses ($95).  These items cannot be ordered new from the factory, but I may be able to locate them on the secondary market.  

Buy the Book:  The best reference available is Bing & Grondahl Figures by Nick and Caroline Pope, published in January, 2003 by Schiffer Books.  It lists over 1000 figurines made by B&G, including those which are still in production with a Royal Copenhagen trademark.  It is a large format (9" x 12"), hard cover book containing 240 pages and approximately 800 color pictures.  It has the most complete listing and the best  price guide in print for Bing & Grondahl figurines.  If you collect or sell Bing & Grondahl figurines, you should definitely have this book.  Cover price is $49.95; I have it in stock for sale at $35.  As with any price guide, the prices shown reflect the opinions and experience of the authors; my prices may be higher or lower.  For figurines in current production, MSRP (shown below) is usually a better guide to value than the opinion of any author.   

Factory Seconds:  Both Royal Copenhagen and B&G issued figurines that were marked as second quality by the factory (2nds).  These were indicated by a vertical scratch through the Royal Copenhagen three-wavy-line trademark, or a horizontal scratch across the three tower trademark of B&G.  I do not ship factory seconds.   ALL figurines listed for sale below are FIRST QUALITY.

Availability: Items listed as "In Stock" were in my inventory as of February 1, 2008 but are subject to prior sale. Items listed as "Ask" are not in stock, but I may be able to order them new from the manufacturer; please inquire if interested.  Items listed as "Disc'd" are not in stock and have been discontinued by the manufacturer; I may be able to track one down if you have a special interest in that figurine.

Price Increase April, 2008:  Royal Copenhagen is has announced a  PRICE INCREASE  due to the continuing decline in value of the US dollar , and to higher fuel and transportation costs.  This is the first price increase since 2006.  The new prices will take effect sometime in April, and will probably average about 20%.  Special Order items MIGHT be available at the prices listed below, but items with a delivery date after April 30th (maybe sooner!) will be billed at the new (higher) prices.  I have no control over List Prices or shipping dates, so place your order NOW if you want any of these items.  Prices shown below are the 2006/2007 Prices.  

PLEASE include your UPS shipping address (home or work; no P.O. Boxes) in your FIRST email; I cannot confirm the final price of any item until I know where it is being sent.  Click here for additional information, including shipping charges and payment methods.
