Elegant, Stylised White Swan, Designed in the 1960s by Jaroslav Ježek
About the Item
An elegant, stylised white swan, designed in the 1960s by Jaroslav Ježek (1923-2002), leading sculptor of the prestigious Royal Dux factory.
His original and unmistakable style is known as "Brussels style," because at the 1958 Expo in Brussels, Jaroslav Ježek received two very prestigious awards: the gold medal for porcelain sculpture and the Grand Prix for the porcelain coffee service. His Brussels style represented Czech design on a global scale.

Amazing and very refined design!
Excellent condition.
The Royal Dux factory, a Bohemian porcelain brand, became famous at the beginning of the 20th century for its Art Nouveau style productions.
Historical
Founded in 1853 near Prague in Dux, initially to produce utilitarian objects, the factory was bought by Eduard Eichler, a recognized artist, which marked the beginning of its prosperity. But it was from 1898, following his installation in Berlin, that works of remarkable quality were produced1.
This important factory made vases, figurines, often female subjects, in exuberant decorations of flowers, leaves on shell bases, fountains... The porcelain was left in the form of biscuit, gilded or painted, often in green2.
During this Art Nouveau period, the company was successful thanks to a modeler-decorator Alois Hampel1.
The factory is still in operation today.

Royal Dux Bohemia
Royal Dux is a porcelain company based in the Czech Republic that manufactures figurines, vases and other ceramics and objects in neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles. Some of the company’s most popular pieces include the Bohemia centerpiece as well as their Elephant figurine.
A member of the Czech Porcelain Group, Roya Dux has produced its brand of figural and decorative porcelain works since 1853. Model expert Eduard Eichler established the company in Duchov, Bohemia, in 1860 and ran Royal Dux Bohemia until his death in 1887, recreating historical designs from England, Denmark and France. At the start of the 20th century, the company enjoyed remarkable success thanks to the works of the designer Alois Hampel.
Royal Dux porcelain pieces are designated by their trademark pink triangle, which serves as a certificate of authentication. The company enjoyed a renaissance in 1958 owing to the display of Jaroslav Ježek’s collection at the world exhibition in Brussels that year.
In 1992, the Duchov factory rebranded itself as Royal Dux.
