History:
Produced in Bohemia in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, this vase was created by the Amphora Porcelain Works, founded in 1892 by Riessner, Stellmacher, and Kessel. The workshop was part of the Turn Teplitz region, a major center for art pottery supported by local resources and skilled labor. Its design reflects the Art Nouveau movement, characterized by naturalistic motifs and detailed sculptural forms.
