Portrait vase, Amphora Riessner Stellmacher & Kessel Turn-Teplitz, ca. ?, ivory porcelain, marked
The female figure was a central theme of Art Nouveau and was also often used by the artists of the Amphora manufactory. The work of the designers was strongly influenced by the very floral and stylized French Art Nouveau.
Especially the poster art of Alphonse Mucha and Paul Berthon from Paris was a significant source of artistic inspiration for the Bohemian ceramists in Turn Teplice around 1900. Under this influence, a large number of objects with female motifs were created, ranging from purely decorative vases to allegorical art treasures.
Marked with "AMPHORA" in the ellipse, "Turn-Teplitz Bohemia RSTK", impressed model number "634" and "AH" (artist monogram); Bib.: Richard L. Scott (ed.), Ceramics from the House of Amphora 1890-1915, Sidney/Ohio 2004, p. 85.
