ABOUT PRODUCTID 16185
This porcelain slalom skier figurine was crafted by renowned Czech manufacturer Royal Dux Bohemia in the 1950s. Executed in pure, high-gloss white, the piece captures an athlete's silhouette in a dynamic, forward-leaning pose characteristic of downhill slalom skiing. The form is boldly stylized: geometrically simplified contours, fluid lines, and sharply elongated skis and base together convey a sense of movement and acceleration, echoing mid-century modernist ideals. The skier’s attire—a close-fitting suit and cap—is rendered minimally, focusing all attention on the body’s motion and posture without excessive ornamentation. The porcelain is exceptionally smooth without cracks, chips or discolorations; subtle details such as the draping of clothing and shaping of the hands attest to Royal Dux’s high standard of craftsmanship. The figure is preserved in excellent, near-original condition, showing no visible signs of wear. Within this sculptural miniature lies the pulse of postwar Europe: a period fascinated by movement, progress, and the new harmony between man and technology. The sleek, pared-down porcelain surface narrates skiing as a symbol of freedom
