Standing 51 cm high, this is an impressive decorative object from Amphora's most ambitious artistic period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vase is beautifully modelled with a tall flaring form, strong sculptural base, and large openwork handles. Particularly striking is the pierced olive-green collar below the neck, where numerous hand-cut openings create an exceptionally labour-intensive decorative effect requiring great precision. Stylised scrolls, foliate ornament, suspended teardrop details, and moulded relief work enrich the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts ivory ground, with olive green, rose-brown, and gilt accents, reflects Amphora's higher-grade artistic production. The underside bears the Amphora crown mark with AUSTRIA and model number 12000, confirming authentic factory production within the Turn-Teplitz tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFounded by Alfred Stellmacher in 1892, Amphora quickly became internationally admired for luxury ceramic production, winning major awards and exporting through prestigious retailers including Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. Large-scale examples such as this reflect the factory's finest period and remain especially desirable to collectors today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA major cabinet-scale Amphora vase combining size, technical difficulty, and strong sculptural presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 51 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 25.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 18 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 2595 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent condition.
