Acorn pottery mark

An acorn pottery mark on Bohemian porcelain can carry DUX or ROYAL DUX; CZECHOSLOVAKIA wording states the production country.

Separating the recorded variants

Keep the cap, stem and any letters with the acorn. Royal Dux records include DUX, ROYAL DUX and MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA wording. A small emblem on a figurine base should be compared with the full factory mark.
