Royal Dux Porcelain was started in 1860 by Eduard Eichler in Duchov, Bohemia and was called Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur. Bohemia became Czechoslovakia, which was firstly controlled by Germany during WWII and then the U.S.S.R., who renamed it Duchovsky Porcelain. In 1990 after the fall of the iron curtain, it became the Czech Republic, which dates this piece to the 1990s.

The famous pink triangle mark, as shown on the base of this piece, consists of a piece of thin, pink clay, with Royal Dux Bohemia impressed into it around an acorn, the bottom half of which has the letter E for Eichler impressed. When the Soviets changed the name to Duchovsky Porcelain, the letter became a D.
