About the Item

This 19th century porcelain inkwell features a graceful figure of Venus rising from a water lily. Created by Alois Hampel and marked “3359”, this piece was produced by the renowned Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur in Bohemia. It retains the original label from the Parisian retailer: “Crystallerie artistique - porcelaine sax Henry Hervet Paris”, located at 32 and 34 rue Vivienne, Paris. The composition, full of movement and sensuality, is enhanced by delicate pastel tones and intricate floral detailing, reflecting the organic elegance of the Secession Style. Take into account that the colors on the items may vary depending on the type of lighting and the type of screen from which you see the images.
