Vintage Royal Dux Jezek Abstract Bird Figurine Porcelain MCM

Elegant vintage Royal Dux porcelain bird figurine designed in the distinctive Mid-Century Modern style of celebrated Czech artist Jaroslav Ježek. This striking abstract pheasant features the long dramatic tail, sleek sculptural form, and glossy white porcelain finish that made Ježek’s Royal Dux animal figures so iconic during the 1950s–1960s. The textured incised detailing along the tail adds beautiful movement and depth, while the minimalist silhouette gives it that unmistakable Brussels-style modernist look. Royal Dux, one of the most respected porcelain houses in Czechoslovakia, became internationally recognized for these elegant sculptural works, especially after Ježek’s award-winning success at the 1958 Brussels World Expo. His stylized birds, cranes, swans, and pheasants remain among the most sought-after pieces for vintage and MCM collectors.

Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks noted. A beautiful statement piece for Mid Century, minimalist, or Scandinavian-inspired décor.
