Antique Royal Dux Porcelain Bisque Statue RARE Pastel Non-Glazed Finish Figures
Here we have a rare and beautiful sculpture by Royal Dux. This piece is marked with the pink triangle on the underside of the base. The triangle is stamped with ROYAL DUX BOHEMIA around the triangle and inside is the acorn with the "E" inside it. This mark dates this piece in the 1900-1947 era. I believe the piece is bisque or what the Czech company called biskvit and pastel. The piece has a non-glazed finish and is white, mat and gilded on some areas. The colors appear to be not glazed, there is no glossy shine to this piece. They usually only used this process on animal figures, very seldom did they do this to human figures which is what makes this piece so rare. I have found different references on this piece, one calls it "Farmer and Wife" the other "Praying for Rain". The man is holding a spade in one hand and the lady is kneeling next to him on one knee. There are 2 bags next to them. The smaller bag in the front has the letters "D E" on it and the bigger bag in the back has "D P M" on it. I assume the D P M stands for Duxer Porzellan Manufakture, which is what the company was called at one time. This piece is in excellent condition. There is one hairline fracture in the base, see the photos below. There are no chips, cracks or breaks in the figures or the bags. This piece looks fresh from the maker even though it could be around 100 years old. The numbers cast in the bottom of the piece are 13202 58. This piece is very old and may not be perfect however it is in excellent condition. I do not know the exact date it was made. This measurements are 18 7/8 inches tall, 12 7/8 inches side to side and 18 7/8 inches front to back. It weighs 12 pounds.
