Goldscheider Earthenware Figure “Rebecca by the Spring” – Cherc Design, C. 1900

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Goldscheider earthenware figure “Rebecca by the Spring” – Cherc design

This exquisite early 20th-century ceramic figurine, titled “Rebecca by the Spring”, was manufactured by the renowned Goldscheider company in Vienna. The piece depicts the biblical figure Rebecca in a moment of contemplation by a well, capturing the intricate details and emotion characteristic of Cherc’s artistry.

Crafted in tones of beige, brown, greyish black, and golden hues, the figurine reflects Goldscheider’s reputation for high-quality and expressive designs. Marked with the name "CHERC," a pseudonym attributed to Hans Scherpe, a prolific German artist, this sculpture exemplifies his significant contributions to Goldscheider’s success during the Art Nouveau period.

Historical background:

Founded in 1885 by Friedrich Goldscheider, the Goldscheider Porcelain Factory and Majolica Factory in Vienna became a leading name in European ceramic production.

Biblical narratives, classical mythology, and oriental-inspired themes were central to its production, which gained international acclaim with branches in Austria, Germany, Paris, England, and the United States.

This particular piece is a testament to Goldscheider’s innovative techniques and artistic excellence, making it highly valued among collectors.

FAQs

Produced in Vienna during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these earthenware figures are noted for naturalistic forms, fluid drapery, and distinct Art Nouveau stylistic influences.

They were cast in earthenware ceramic or terracotta, fired, and finished with polychrome pigments, cold-painted enamels, or patinated glazes to emulate metallic bronzed surfaces.

Authentic pieces typically bear impressed factory marks, model numbers, artist signatures near the base or back, and distinctive Viennese pottery stamps.

Display the sculpture as a focal accent on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a display cabinet to highlight its sculptural contours against plain walls.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth, keeping the object away from water, moisture, and chemical detergents that could destabilise the surface pigments.
