Offered for sale is a circa 1905 Amphora porcelain vase from the Riessner & Kessel, Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia. The company was celebrated for their artistically modeled pieces, no two ever alike, their incredible glazes and their 3 dimensional applied fruits and flowers.
This vase is a perfect example of the beautiful colors and glazes that can be found on many of their wares. It features a gourd shaped vase with a pitted surface shaded in green and gold decorated with a display of crimson leaves and gilded pine cones. The bas-relief of the vines, leaves, and pine cones creates a stunning display.
The vase is in excellent condition with minor restoration to a few leaf tips.
Size: 12 ¼” Height.
