About the Item

Portrait vase allegory of France Bohemian Art Nouveau designed by Nikolaus Kannhaeuser manufactured by Amphora-Werke Riessner Stellmacher & Kessel Turn-Teplitz, circa 1901 A special feature of the Bohemian manufacturer Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel are vessels made of their patented material called "ivory porcelain". The portrait-vases with their depictions of female faces in different contexts were completely en-vogue with the contemporary taste of French Art Nouveau. The helmet worn by the lady on this vase is decorated with the Gallic cockrel. Proud and battle-ready this animal symbolizes France and thus, the belligerent warrioress can clearly be recognized as an allegory of France. Her splendid armour is artfully glazed and elaborately decorated with relief-like applications. The ornamentation on the helmet and the butterfly is finely executed. The back of the vase symbolizes the sea with its blue tones. A delicate gold line indicates the horizon line where the setting sun once again quotes France, the country to the west. Nikolaus Kannhäuser designed the Allegory of France around 1902-1903, as part of a series of allegories of other nations. Among them are Germany, Russia and Austria. These warlike depictions can certainly be seen as a symbol of the growing chauvinism of the great powers in Europe in the period around 1900. Marked with "Amphora" in the ellipse, model number "583" and modeler no."40"; Bib.: Richard L.
