Dahl Jensen – I See You!
by Donna
Those of us who are avid collectors of antique and vintage dogs, do it for a variety of reasons. But Dahl Jensen dog collectibles are special. Think about this…
When was the last time you looked at a porcelain dog figurine… and it looked back at you?

Dahl-Jensen porcelain canine figurines do just that. Each dog of every breed that has come out of the Dahl-Jensen factory is easily identified by the distinct and intimate expression on its face. They range from tender to quizzical to occasionally comic. Their muted coloring gives them a softness that invites you to touch them. Whatever you may be feeling at any time, they seem to get it.

Collecting Dahl Jensen
Just a note for the new collectors out there, and for those interested in Dahl-Jensen dogs:Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen (1874-1960), was a Danish sculptor, living in Copenhagen. He started first sculpting in wood, and then moved to porcelain, where one of his first jobs was his work from 1897-1917, as a model master for the porcelain factory of Bing & Grondahl.
In 1925, he started his own business, also in Copenhagen. Many of his works were exported to the US, where he was especially known for his animal figurines. It became a family affair with his wife, Martha, and his son, Georg, working to produce fine porcelain figurines. Production was continued until 1981.
