VTG Post WWII Era Royal Dux Bohemia Porcelain Bear Bowl Sculpture Figurine. Nice Little Tray – Beautiful Piece! This depicts a bear standing on the waters edge with its head down into where the water would be. This is a nice little tray, perfect for holding small items! This is mostly cream colored with green and brown all over, very nice earth tones. On the bottom side of this you can find the raised up pink triangle saying, “ROYAL DUX BOHEMIA D”. The last letter is not very defined so it’s possible this could be an E and we have the dating wrong, but since it can’t be made out we more so went off of what we found online that was similar. On the bottom you can also find “1067″ stamped into it with “61″ hand written. As a whole this measures approx. 7″ x 5″ x 4 and has some very light wear to it. This is mostly just some scuffs here and there, primarily to the bottom. There is some age toning with minimal flea bytes. It also sound like a small piece broke. Keep scrolling there are 13 pictures and. More description beneath the photos below! Off on the inside due to a rattling noise, but with no structural damage. Overall this is still in really nice condition and would be a great new piece added to your family. Be sure to check out all of our photos for any further details. Here is some information we found about the Royal Dux Company online at worldcollectorsnet Great Site!! Royal Dux Porcelain has been produced since 1853, in the small town of Duchcov, located about two hours to the North West of Prague, the capital city of the recently formed Czech Republic. From 1918 until December 31st 1992 the country was known as Czechoslovakia, situated behind the so called Iron Curtain from 1948 till 1990. As the Berlin Wall crumbled so did the hard line communist government in Czechoslovakia. The Velvet Revolution (so called because of its lack of blood-shed and violence) began in November 1989, in the streets of Prague, initiated by students, but supported by the entire country. In January of 1990 Vaclav Havel (the famous dissident writer) was elected president of a free Czechoslovakia. From Nazi occupation just before World War II, all the way through more than forty years of communist tyranny, the Royal Dux factory never stopped to produce the beautiful porcelain pieces, figures and figurines for which they are so famous. Now, no longer part of a huge government owned monopoly, Royal Dux Porcelain has now been fully privatized and is making great strides to return to its once impressive past. Although most Westerners dont realize it, the short time span between World War I and World War II was all that was needed to give the Czechs a chance to become one of the five wealthiest and most industrialized countries in the world. This era is most often referred to as The First Republic and holds a fond place in the hearts of all Czechs. Before the Nazi invasion in 1938 the company had produced over 12,000 different molds and exported beautiful porcelain and faience figurines all around the world. The fall of the Iron Curtain has made it possible for all lovers of fine porcelain art to once again have access to the amazingly wide range of porcelain items that are produced at the Royal Dux factory. However the fall of the communist government in 1990 brought about many new and painful changes which have, at times put the companys survival in peril. Changes in management and chaos followed the revolution and for a time no one was sure what was going to happen. With the lack of accountability always comes fraud and deception and the Royal Dux factory suffered its share. Huge amounts of inventory mysteriously disappeared to customers who just couldnt be located and company assets went missing without a clue as to who could be the culprits. Now the company is in the hands of private owners who have an agenda to put the company back on its feet. The company is in the process of developing its own sales and marketing strategies, which until now were dictated by government owned trade and export companies located in Prague. At the present, some of the molds dating from before WWII are being brought out of the archives and being revamped for production. New decors and glazing techniques are being used, and the company is making plans to produce Limited Edition pieces and to begin concentrating more on the Collectible market. Fresh ideas are being examined by the new directors and those that are needed will be implemented as quickly as possible. With plans to attend this years International Collectible Exposition in Rosemont, Illinois, Royal Dux hopes to make a statement to collectors worldwide that Royal Dux porcelain, Royal Dux figurines, and Royal Dux figures will indeed take its rightful place among the worlds top collectibles.
