ABOUT PRODUCTID 16143
This porcelain Borzoi statue, produced by Royal Dux Bohemia in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, embodies the refined spirit of late Art Deco. The piece depicts a reclining Russian greyhound – its elongated, slender build and tranquil posture accentuate the breed’s characteristic elegance and dignity. The modeling is attentive to anatomical proportion, characterized by soft color transitions: warm, medium brown contours flow smoothly across the back and flanks, melting into a creamy off-white hue along the chest, legs, and muzzle. The high-gloss glaze brings out the vibrancy of these hues, and highlights sculptural details such as the flowing fur and delicately painted paws, ears, and expressive eyes. The surface is impeccably smooth and finely shaped, while the hand-painted details reflect the precise craftsmanship Royal Dux was known for in this period. The condition of the piece is excellent – there are no chips, cracks, or visible restoration, and the color and glaze remain even and well-preserved throughout. The statue tells of an era when Central European Art Deco adopted modern forms, yet retained echoes of narrative animal subjects within its decorative repertoire. The stretching figure of the Borzoi – recalling an interwar painting – speaks softly in a vocabulary of dignity, with porcelain finesse and subtle play of light working in harmony with the noble, understated pose. The lustrous glaze, crisp contouring and painted gaze evoke the museum-like quietude of a collector’s display, where each element reveals the artistry of historical European porcelain. This statue lends itself to both classical and eclectic interiors. It may be displayed on a dark wooden
