One Art Nouveau ceramic vase from Austria, dating to circa 1910–1920, with an iridescent glaze in deep cobalt blue, purple and gasoline green and a three-dimensional yellow, green and red fruiting branch applied to the body, measuring 32 cm high, 18 cm wide and 31.5 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age and spots, and a broken leaf noted.
Description from the seller
A beautiful vase has a bulging, egg-shaped form with a narrow neck. The body is covered with a striking, iridescent (rainbow-like) glaze in deep shades of cobalt blue, purple and petrol green with a metallic sheen. The most striking feature is the three-dimensional application of a branch with leaves and ripe fruit (apples or crab apples), made of matte, subtly polychromed ceramic in yellow, green and red tones.
Stijl en herkomst
Stijl: Jugendstil / Art Nouveau (late 19th – early 20th century, ca. 1895–1910). Characteristic are the organic form, flowing lines, three-dimensional natural motifs and iridescent glazes.
Fabriek: The most likely maker is the Czech/Austrian manufactory Amphora (Turn-Teplitz) or another producer from the Teplitz region (such as Ernst Wahliss or Stellmacher). They were known for ceramics with three-dimensional applications of fruit and leaves on iridescent backgrounds. Other possibilities are the Hungarian Zsolnay (because of the eosin glaze) or RStK (Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel).
