Royal Dux Porcelain

Czech

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.

1930's Art Deco Colorful Pierrot or Clown Figural Porcelain Bell, A Lovely Gift!
1930's Art Deco Colorful Pierrot or Clown Figural Porcelain Bell, A Lovely Gift!

1930's Art Deco Colorful Pierrot or Clown Figural Porcelain Bell, A Lovely Gift!

Located in Red Lion, PA

This charming 1930s Art Deco figural porcelain bell beautifully captures the whimsical and melancholic spirit of the classic French theatrical character, Pierrot. Emerging from the Commedia dell'arte tradition, the Pierrot character, distinguished by his iconic loose tunic, prominent pompom buttons, and conical nightcap, became a massive pop culture and design phenomenon throughout the 1920s and 1930s. This piece features a striking palette of vibrant periwinkle blue, warm orange, and a soft pastel pink hat, complete with a carefully molded curl over the forehead, exemplifying the stylized elegance and playful theatricality of the Art Deco era. During the interwar period, Japanese porcelain manufacturers produced high-quality novelty items, vanity sets, and tableware specifically tailored for the Western market. Export wares from this decade often seamlessly blended European artistic trends like Art Deco with Japan's advanced industrial ceramics capabilities. These whimsical "half-doll" style figural bells became popular souvenirs and dressing table accents across Europe and North America. This particular bell retains its original, fully intact construction, featuring a metal wire loop on the interior that safely affixes the porcelain ringer to the main body, a delicate mechanism that is frequently lost or broken over time. Today, vintage figural bells and interwar Japanese porcelain items are highly sought-after categories among collectors of estate vanity antiques, early 20th-century circus memorabilia...
