Thomsen worked for Royal Copenhagen from 1898 until his death in 1921.

This model number indicates it was one of many designed by Christian Thomsen (1860-1921). For example, the marking “NMK” is that of the decorator, who unfortunately I have no records for. More information can be gleaned from the other markings as well. According to our chart above, this indicates that the figurine was made in 1956. When we examine the marking on your figurine, we find the letter “E” in “Denmark” has the dash marking beneath it. The decorator’s mark and model number also show more background. The marks on the “Farmer with Sheep” figurine, with the dash under the “E” in “DENMARK” reveals it was made in 1956. The later system uses a dash mark under a letter in the company marking. The earlier of the two uses a dash over one of the letters on the company marking. The easiest method is using date codes, Royal Copenhagen employed two types of codes one from 1932 to 1949 and a second from 1950 to 1984. One can look for the decorator’s initials or number, the type of crown used in the company marking, the form of company stamp or the actual date code within the company mark itself. The markings found on Royal Copenhagen figurines provide a great deal of information, more so than many other companies, but there is more than one way to determine date ranges on these pieces. Like some other porcelain companies, Royal Copenhagen figurines have a variety of ways to determine a date range. In fact, it dates more than 50 years after this model was first designed. Well, the short answer is no, this is not an early example of this model. What do I need to look for to determine if mine is an old one or a later piece? I’ve included an image of the mark on mine. I’ve received a Royal Copenhagen figurine called “Farmer with Sheep.” I’ve done a little research on it and it appears to have been a quite early one, but the model has been made for a considerable period of time. In this series of Q&A articles, I’m going to answer the questions I hear most often regarding marks on antiques and provide a straight path off an often-twisted trail. If you don’t, however, they can lead you well astray of the truth. Any markings that can be found can often help unravel the mystery-if you know what the marks mean. To well-seasoned or novice collectors, determining a maker or origin of a piece can be very confusing if it is outside their normal area of interest. This Royal Copenhagen figurine, “Farmer with Sheep” was designed in 1905, but we can only know the date this particular piece was made by examining the marks.
