A Royal Dux porcelain cupA porcelain cup in the shape of a fountain decorated with floral patterns, surmounted by an embraced couple coming out of the water, the lower part of the woman's body being hidden by the waves. Marked underneath Royal Dux (Bohemia). Royal Dux is the more common name for the Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur, which was founded by E. Eichler in Dux, Bohemia (now Duchov, Czech Republic), in 1860. By the turn of the century, the firm specialized in porcelain statuary and busts of Art Nouveau–style maidens, large porcelain figures, and ornate vases with three-dimensional figures climbing on the sides. The firm is still in business.
