Antique Porcelain Figurine of a Royal Dux Water Carrier ,19 Th

19th century
Description

This exquisite porcelain figurine represents a young female water carrier. The quality of craftsmanship is evident in the detailed depiction of the face, jewelry, and the intricate patterns on the pedestal. Every element of this figure has been meticulously crafted with remarkable precision.

Please note the pattern number at the bottom of the figure: 77. Early Royal Dux pieces are known for their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Royal Dux porcelain has been produced in Duchkov, Czech Republic, since 1853. The company was founded by Eduard Eichler, who was inspired by the renowned porcelain factories of Meissen and Dresden. The company's name, "Dux," comes from the Latin word for "Duke," a title held by Eichler's father-in-law.

Initially, the company produced simple white tableware but soon began to experiment with color and decorative techniques. In the 1870s, Royal Dux shifted its focus to producing figurines, which became the company's mainstay by the early 20th century. Today, Royal Dux figurines are highly sought after by collectors, and the company continues to produce both porcelain tableware and figurines.

This figurine is in excellent condition, showcasing a beautiful balance of colors on the dress, with soft undertones characteristic of the Bohemian school of porcelain craftsmanship. The base features a distinctive pink clay stamp with the letter “E,” indicating it was made in the late 19th century.

Dimensions:

Height: 28 cm

Weight: 882 g

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Orientalist porcelain figurines from the late nineteenth century frequently depicted figures from North Africa and the Middle East in traditional costume, reflecting European fascination with Eastern aesthetics and classical drapery.

These figurines were crafted from biscuit porcelain or earthenware, finished with matte shot enamels, hand-applied glazes, and subtle gilded accents.

Authentic pieces generally feature an applied pink porcelain triangle mark on the underside, often accompanied by impressed four-digit model numbers and maker stamps.

Displaying the piece on a mantelpiece, open shelf, or side table against a neutral backdrop highlights its sculptural form and historic glaze tones.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical solvents or prolonged water immersion that could damage gilt details or matte enamels.
