Terwijl de lange bladvormige staart zich om de vaas vleit, en het lijfje een handvat-vormige boog vormt, richt de kop zich op naar degene die deze vaas benadert. Als kijker vraag je je af is dit beestje vriendelijk of zal het tot de aanval over gaan? Die vraag zal nooit beantwoord worden. Weer zo'n fantasierijk fantastisch stuk porselein van Amphora uit Oostenrijk.
About the artist
Tile and Fayence factory Amphora in the Dutch municipality Oegstgeest was founded in 1908 . Chris van der Hoef made a number of important designs around 1908. He made designs with a simple geometric decoration intertwined with lines and color boxes in the so-called Art Nouveau style. The factory was closed in 1933.
It was founded by Messrs van Sillevoldt and Perelaer. They became known, among other things, for a special glaze that did not or hardly crackle. In the Holland-Rijnland region, lime kilns and pottery factories were established along the Old Rhine, making use of the clay dredged up from the surrounding polders, from which they made bricks, roof tiles and pottery products. After the Rozenburg factory in The Hague went bankrupt, Amphora took over part of the raw material.
The famous pottery painter Sam Schellink also went to work for Amphora and painted many beautiful eggshell porcelain objects there. The artist Theodorus Verstraaten also worked for the company. Pieter Groeneveldt and Chris Lebeau received turning lessons from Gerrit de Blanken around 1923.
