Amphora produced a series of allegory vases for different countries. I believe this one is for Germany. The artistry is superior, as well as the color and workmanship. Signed both Amphora and R, St. & K, one of the best companies. 7¼" tall x 5½" diameter. Mint condition.
What a super example of Amphora ceramics at its Art Nouveau best. It really doesn't get better nor more Art Nouveau than a beautiful maiden surrounded by iris flowers, a dragonfly and a spider web. You would expect a huge, 21" example to have some restoration, but even on close inspection, there doesn't appear to be any. Apparently unsigned, but obviously Amphora. For the best collections.
Wow! Isn't this vase gorgeous? It's the epitome of Art Nouveau with maiden's busts, spider webs and flowers. Great size at 14"! The wooden stand was only for illustrative purposes. The vase has great signatures on the underside, both Amphora and R,St&K. Great condition with the exception of a few chips on the tips of some of the flowers, which I've had professionally restored. (The photos were taken before restoration, so you can see one of the chips on a flower tip.) This is a killer vase for the best collections.
I bought this vase in Europe, supposedly in perfect condition, but it's not. There is a 2" hairline crack extending from the foot rim up. It's very difficult to see, but it's there. It was too expensive to ship back to Europe, so I'm selling it as is. It's a bargain for a wonderful Amphora dragon vase that's worth $3,000, if perfect. Beautiful work, color and detail. 7½" tall. Signed.
This vase is a little beauty at 6¼" tall. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in style and quality. It's a great example of Amphora jeweled vases. Signed. Mint condition.
Everybody want monsters and creatures on their Amphora vases. So here you have it -- a really great Octopus with incredible design, workmanship and color. Nice size at 9" tall. Signed underneath. Mint condition. (There is a partial fingerprint, underglaze, on the nose of one octopus face, original from the day it was made. Actually that's pretty cool. I'm only mentioning it for accuracy.)
This is such a pretty example of Amphora pottery, with gorgeous, realistic orchids. The colors are bright and fresh. It's a very nice size at 7¼" tall x 13¼" wide. Lots of numbers underneath and a signature I don't recognize, "Rusm". Excellent original condition.
Beautiful tree scenic vase by noted Austrian ceramicist Paul Dachsel. 8½". Signed. Excellent condition.
Paul Daschel is known as one of the finest of the Amphora Art Nouveau artists. His works are highly desirable. This elegant, small vase is truly lovely with dragonflies around the rim and fancy Art Nouveau handles. Signed. 6" tall. Mint condition.
Outstanding quality. R,St.&K and Amphora signed. 10". Mint condition.
This lovely vase is part of a series of Amphora allegory vases, although I'm not sure which country this example represents. (Please let me know if you know.) Great artistry and workmanship. 5¾"tall. Signed. Mint condition.
Another outstanding R,St.&K and Amphora signed vase. Flattened form. 9¾". Mint condition.
How about this beauty? One of the allegory portrait vases, although I don't know which country. Nice size at 10", great color, jeweled, gilded, signed. What more could you ask for? Mint condition.
