Art Deco Imperial Amphora Vase

AMPHORA
During the Jugendstil period, the production of ceramics was very important in Austria and more particularly in the north of Bohemia, in the Teplice region. AMPHORA was created in 1892 by three friends, Reissner, Stellmacher and Kessel. At first, the company was called RSTK. It was after Stellamcher's departure in 1905 that the factory took the name AMPHORA. Many artists designed models for the brand. These include Paul Dachsel (circa 1880-?) and also the Swedish animal sculptor Otto Jarl (1856-1915), who collaborated more often with the Meissen porcelain factory.
