Description from the seller
A remarkable Austrian Art Nouveau candle holder with a match holder, manufactured by Ernst Wahliss around 1900.
The piece features a beautifully modeled reclining female figure, surrounded by organic flower and water motifs.
The combination of matte flesh tones with the glossy, softly iridescent blue-gray glaze is characteristic of Wahliss's figurative ceramics from this period.
The underside bears the Ernst Wahliss mark, the designation “Made in Austria” and the impressed model number 4662/223/8.
This model is illustrated in the important reference work Monsters and Maidens – Collectors Edition by Byron Vreeland, page 459. The book includes an extensive section with more than one hundred images of Ernst Wahliss's figurative works.
Condition: excellent condition, without chips, cracks, or restorations.
It will, of course, be carefully packaged and shipped by registered mail.
