19th-century Royal Dux Cookie – Hunting Dogs And Partridges

This 19th-century bisque porcelain sculpture by Royal Dux, the Bohemian porcelain manufacturer, depicts a hunting scene featuring two pointing dogs (pointers/setters) approaching their prey with intense concentration: a partridge hidden among stylized foliage and natural elements. The dynamism and tension of the hunt are faithfully captured in the modeling, with particular attention paid to the dogs’ taut muscles and alert gazes.

The sculpture is crafted from high-quality porcelain bisque with subtle hand-painted accents and a natural-looking base in shades of gold and bronze. The base bears Royal Dux’s characteristic raised pink triangular stamp, as well as the model number 2429 and engraved numbers. This impressive piece exemplifies the quality and naturalistic craftsmanship for which Royal Dux was renowned in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The matte bisque finish lends the work an elegant texture and a classic look.
