AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and rare vase made of porcelain from the Eichwald manufactory (brand post Bernard Bloch) in a clear Art Nouveau style.
In 1871, Bernhard Bloch founded a ceramic factory in Eichwald, Bohemia, and operated under the name B. Bloch & Company. The company was one of the few to continue producing majolica after World War I. With the Treaty of Versailles, Czechoslovakia (today the Czech Republic and Slovakia) was created by uniting territories of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1920, B. Bloch & Company was renamed Eichwald Porcelain and Stoves Factory. The factory was confiscated by the Nazis during World War II. The city of Eichwald is today called Dubi.
The Eichwald mark suggests a dating after 1920.
Extremely elegant vase, very beautiful.
In excellent overall condition.
Dimensions 20 x 16.5 cm
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
