Austrian Art Nouveau Imperial Amphora Vase with Birds

About the Item

A large and impressive Art Nouveau/Jugendstil Austrian Imperial Amphora art pottery twin handled vase with tube lined bird designs dating from the early 20th century. In addition to Reissner, Stellmacher, and Kessel marked works, there were a number of very high quality works which were produced at the Imperial Technical School for Ceramics & Associated Applied Arts from which many of the Amphora designers and artisans graduated. Created in 1885 and continuing until 1917, the school was a decorative arts and design academy which taught students how to sculpt clay in a manner that was both complex in technique and reflective of "themes" such as nature which was so influencing the Art Nouveau period. This example is of large cylindrical shape has a fold in top rim applied with small loop handles to either side. The vase is decorated with two Crow like birds standing in tubelined outline and applied with raised coloured enamels set against a matt mottled brown ground above a green wreath applied over a blue colored lower body. The vase has simple geometric patterning to the opposite side with simple roundels picked out in sky blue against a deep blue upper rim. The vase has various impressed marks to the base including an IMPERIAL TURN mark along with a crown and Amphora and AUSTRIA mark, The vase is numbered 11612. Provenance: Acquired from a private collection in the UK. In good condition with a glaze firing flaw to the base.
