Definition:Dahl Jensen

Dahl Jensen is considered the “Couture” of porcelain dog figurines. Jens Peter Dahl-Jensen, a master sculptor for Royal Copenhagen, started his own factory in 1925. His pieces are legendary for their “underglaze” painting technique, which gives the dogs a soft, ethereal, and incredibly lifelike appearance. Dahl Jensen dogs are often more expensive and rarer than other brands because of the intense labor required for their decoration. They are particularly famous for their Pekingese, Bulldogs, and Terriers.
