About the Item

Biography :
Founded in 1853 in northern Bohemia in Dux near Prague initially to produce utility objects, the manufacture was bought in 1862 by Eduard Eichler (1830-1887), a renowned artist, which marked the beginning of its prosperity. But it was from 1898, following his installation in Berlin, that works of remarkable quality were produced. Around 1900, this important factory produced 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 green. During the Art Nouveau period, the company enjoyed success thanks to its collaboration with renowned artists such as the modeler-decorator Alois Hampel. The manufacture is still active 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.
