Imperial Amphora - Vase - 1611 - Ceramic - Charioteer

Polychrome earthenware amphora-shaped jug with twin handles, relief-decorated in vibrant tones of pink, cobalt, brown and white. The body features stylised panels of sunburst/eye motifs, alternating with a dynamic depiction of a classical charioteer in full gallop, framed within a speckled textured ground. Richly glazed in black at the handles and rim. This vase perfectly illustrates the long-standing confusion between between Amphora-Werke Reissner and the Imperial line: the impressed Amphora-stamp suggests Reissner, but the surviving Imperial Amphora label confirms its true origin. This dual marking explains why many pieces lost their labels and are still misattributed and mistakenly catalogued as Reissner (RstK) Manufacturer : Imperial Amphora Stamp : Made in Czecho-Slovakia / Amphora , nr. 1611 Sticker : Retaining a rare original gilt paper label: “Imperial Amphora”. Form/model: 12308/3 Country of origin : Turn-Teplitz , Czech Slovakia. Dimensions: height 355mm, mouth Ø 55mm, foot Ø 120mm, belly Ø 180 mm
