AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and rare antique Egyptian Revival majolica ewer, made by the renowned Austro-Bohemian manufacturer Gerbing & Stephan around 1880.
This museum-worthy object is a stunning example of 19th-century neostyle. The front features a beautifully detailed, three-dimensional Sphinx- or pharaoh-face that flows smoothly into the handle. The body is richly decorated with stylized lotus flowers, fine wickerwork, and a winged serpent on the shoulder. The deep, glossy majolica colors (olive green, deep blue, and terracotta) are typical of this period and manufacturer.
Specifications:
* Manufacturer: Gerbing & Stephan (Bodenbach, Austria/Czechoslovakia)
* Period: Circa 1880 (19th-century antique)
* Material: Majolica (glazed earthenware)
* Style: Egyptian Revival
* Mark on base: Fully marked with the official factory stamp ‘G. & St.’, model number ‘3841 / Z’ and a blind stamp (circle with a cross).
