Collectors scour the world in search of what some believe is the world's finest porcelain from the Czech Republic, Royal Dux. Our lovely lady holds a fishing net. She is centered between two shell-shaped vessels. Hues are very natural, soft beiges, browns, creams and greens. Her face is almost ethereal with every nuance carefully captured. The piece is marked with the traditional pale pink triangle, inscribed "Royal Dux Bohemia." It also bears the mark "Made in Czechoslavakia," which was added to follow import laws imposed in 1918. Our compote also has an "E" centered in the label, indicating it was made early, not long after 1918. Although Royal Dux continued throughout the 20th Century until 1992, early pieces are most highly sought after. Condition is mint without damage or mouding flaws, though some even collect rare pieces with those mistakes.
