ABOUT PRODUCTID 16115
This porcelain figurine by Royal Dux Bohemia, dating from the 1940s, epitomizes post-war Czechoslovak decorative artistry. Made from a seamless porcelain cast, it depicts a hunting dog carrying a duck, with coloring that transitions naturally from a rich amber brown on the back to pale beige and cream tones on the chest, legs, belly, muzzle, and tail underside. The polychrome finish is painstakingly hand-applied, with smooth gradations and subtle shading accentuating the anatomy. The duck introduces a striking contrast with deep green on its head and wing against the creamy body. The entire surface is covered with a glossy, immaculate glaze, and the base—abstractly shaped as grassy marshland in creamy ivory hues—anchors the composition. Eyes and nose are detailed in shades of black and brown, with overall proportions reflecting the harmony characteristic of early Royal Dux Bohemia creations. The construction is monolithic, without visible joints, repairs, or damage. The condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or significant signs of use. This figure carries the nostalgic spirit of 1940s Czechoslovakia: a porcelain dog frozen in the triumphant instant of the hunt, just moments before returning to its master. The smooth, lustrous surface and carefully nuanced coloration recall an era when manufactories prized naturalism and craftsmanship, with a discreet Art Deco influence subtly present in the dynamic arc of the legs and tail. The stylized base hints at an untamed landscape—a world glimpsed through glass cabinets and the artist’s brush, distilled into a porcelain miniature. The figurine
