Rare Large Antique Amphora Porcelain Statuette with Roses, C.1900–1905

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A large Bohemian Art Nouveau porcelain statuette by Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel, Amphora, Turn-Teplitz, Austria-Hungary, circa 1900–1905. The classical maiden supports a gilded bowl in her left hand and carries a two-handled amphora in her right, with applied pink roses trailing down her flowing gown to the circular base.

The matte ivory porcelain has softly airbrushed pastel colouring and matte gilding, with the face and exposed skin left in unglazed biscuit. Impressed marks include the Imperial Crown, "AMPHORA", "AUSTRIA", model number "4941", factory number "33" and the letter "D". The crown forms the basis of the attribution to Amphora's premium quality line.

Amphora earned international recognition at the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 and the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. The figure's large size, elegant modelling and abundant applied roses give it particular appeal to collectors of Bohemian Art Nouveau ceramics.

Dimensions: Height: 40 cm; Width: 14 cm; Depth: 11 cm; Weight: 1466 g.

Condition: Excellent antique condition, with no visible signs of breakage or restoration.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them.

FAQs

Produced primarily in the Turn-Teplitz region of Bohemia around the turn of the twentieth century, these figures are recognized for their organic forms, flowing classical drapery, soft matte enamel glazes, and hand-applied floral accents.

These statuettes were crafted using slip-cast porcelain or earthenware, hand-finished with applied ceramic embellishments, painted with soft pastel enamels, and highlighted with subtle gilt accents before firing.

Authentic period examples generally display impressed manufacturer marks, shape numbers, and crown or oval stamps on the underside, alongside characteristic matte glazes and intricate hand-modelled details.

Statuuettes of this scale work well as focal decorative objects on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or within a glass display cabinet to highlight the sculpted profile and subtle colours.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to clean intricate areas like applied petals without snagging. Avoid liquid immersion or abrasive cleaners, which can damage original gilding and cold-painted finishes.
