AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Imposing monumental floor vase from the period circa 1900–1915, executed in the style of European Japonisme. The vase features an elegant baluster form with a tall trumpet-shaped neck and is richly decorated with hand-painted panels depicting two herons among bamboo and water plants. The deep cobalt blue background forms a lovely contrast with the delicately rendered birds and vegetation.
The neck and foot are adorned with fine vertical cannelures (ribs), while the transition to the neck is enriched with a decorative relief. The upper edge is finished with a refined geometric ornament in soft cream, turquoise, and reddish-brown tones, typical of the influence of Art Nouveau and Japonisme around the turn of the century.
Bottom with scratched workshop marks and a heavily worn blind stamp. Based on style, technique, and execution, the vase is attributed to Bohemian majolica production from the Teplitz/Eichwald region, made circa 1900–1915. An exact factory attribution cannot be determined with certainty due to the worn mark. The underside shows a worn blind stamp and scratched workshop marks. Based on the monumental form, the characteristic rib structure, the hand-painted decoration with herons and bamboo, the glaze technique, and the finish of the biscuit base, this vase is cautiously attributed to Eichwald (Bohemia, present-day Czech Republic), circa 1900–1915. Although the original factory mark is no longer fully legible due to wear, the object shows strong stylistic and technical similarities with the production of the Eichwalder Porzellan- und Ofenfabrik from the Art Nouveau/Japonisme period.
This monumental vase forms a particularly decorative object and is a fine representative of European art pottery from the early 20th century.
