AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning and important majolica ceramic vase from the famous Amphora factory (Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel) in Trnovany, Czechoslovakia, dating from around 1920. This model (No. 15080) sits perfectly in the transitional period between late Art Nouveau and the nascent Art Deco.
The vase features a magnificent multicolored relief decoration, depicting a large exotic parrot in shades of blue, green, and yellow, surrounded by blooming roses and geometric motifs. The upper and lower parts of the piece display a beige and light brown speckled texture, very characteristic, imitating a hammered finish.
Rare and sought-after piece due to its exceptional dimensions (height 50 cm), which make it a true floor vase with a strong decorative impact.
