  • Sobre arte
    This magnificent vase was manufactured by Amphora from Turn-Teplice which at that time belonged to the Austrian Empire. Amphora is known for the production of high quality decorative porcelain objects in Art Nouveau style and was founded by Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel in the year 1892.

    The vase is made in ivory porcelain and shaped in a typical symbolist Art Nouveau representation. The vase stands on a widened base and has an embossed decoration of sirens, flowers and tadpoles swimming up from the depths in the water to the sirens that are at the surface. The symbolism behind this representation is centered on fertility, transformation and happiness.

    The underwater representation is rendered with a slightly iridescent glaze. Whereas the overwater representation is rendered in a green paint with accents in gold paint.

    The base has a stamp of “Amphora”.


    Condition: Excellent condition, production crack at the base

  • Sobre artista

    A fábrica de azulejos e faiança Amphora no município holandês de Oegstgeest foi fundada em 1908. Chris van der Hoef fez vários designs importantes por volta de 1908. Ele fez desenhos com uma decoração geométrica simples entrelaçada com linhas e caixas de cores no chamado estilo Art Nouveau. A fábrica foi fechada em 1933.

    Foi fundada pelos Srs. Van Sillevoldt e Perelaer. Ficaram conhecidos, entre outras coisas, por um esmalte especial que não estalava ou quase não estalava. Na região de Holland-Rijnland, fornos de cal e fábricas de cerâmica foram estabelecidas ao longo do Reno Velho, aproveitando a argila dragada dos pólderes circundantes, com os quais eles fizeram tijolos, telhas e produtos de cerâmica. Após a falência da fábrica de Rozenburg em Haia, a Amphora assumiu parte da matéria-prima. O famoso pintor de cerâmica Sam Schellink também foi trabalhar para a Amphora e pintou muitos objetos de porcelana com casca de ovo lá. O artista Theodorus Verstraaten também trabalhou para a empresa. Pieter Groeneveldt e Chris Lebeau receberam aulas de torneamento de Gerrit de Blanken por volta de 1923.
