We are offering this large and monumental Art Nouveau pair of naturalistic baluster vases by Paul Dachsel dated c. 1893-1905 with extraordinary light green/olive and cream matt glazing with applied detailing of an acorn, oak leaf, and oak branches decorated with acorns. Around a central amphora vase is a beautifully detailed oak decorated with olive and moss greens accented by umber and gold gild seen on the top of the leaves and the acorns.
Both vases have brown, partially gilded two-ear handles shaped in the form of naturalistic branches. The long, wide neck joins the body of the vase in a delicate gourd form decorated with linear inspired by the voluptuous, organic Art Nouveau style. Marked on the base, imprinted in clay with the firm's mark encased in an oval: 'AUSTRIA' 'AMPHORA' with a crown, style number: '0580', decorator's mark: '43'; measuring: 35 cm height, width in the central part of the vase approx. 25 cm, length of the neck approx. 12 cm.
Paul Dachsel was the son-in-law of Alfred Stellmacher...
