Georg Jensen: Henning Koppel

Jug 992 2.00 l

A Scandinavian icon – the sterling silver Jug 992 “Pregnant Duck”

Some pieces transcend function and become pure sculpture. Designed in 1952 by the legendary Henning Koppel, the Jug 992 – affectionately known as the “Pregnant Duck” – is one of Georg Jensen’s most celebrated masterpieces. Crafted from solid sterling silver, its fluid silhouette and organic curves evoke softness, balance and perfect proportion. The elegantly arched handle completes the design, transforming the jug into an object of timeless beauty.

With a generous 2-liter capacity, a height of 287 mm and a diameter of 218 mm, this piece is both utilitarian and sculptural. Each jug is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the exceptional silversmithing heritage of Georg Jensen. As a first-choice piece and in this case one of the last remaining examples available, it is an extraordinary collector’s item cherished by connoisseurs worldwide.

Whether displayed as a design icon, used on a beautifully set table or treasured as an heirloom, Jug 992 embodies the essence of Nordic craftsmanship and modernist elegance.
