Amphora - Vase - Earthenware

Large Art Deco Vase with Stylized Bird Decor – Amphora (Turn-Teplitz), ca. 1920–1930 A distinctive and rare decorative piece of Art Deco ceramics from the renowned factory Amphora (Turn-Teplitz, Czechoslovakia). This impressive 30 cm high vase features a bold, geometrically stylized composition of a waterfowl among floral motifs. The decoration is rendered in a rich relief with thickly laid cloisonné enamel glazes (cloisonné technique), in which bright yellows, cobalt blue, terracotta, and black contrast beautifully with the sandy, speckled matte ground. Both the neck and the foot are finished with clean, typical Art Deco band patterns. The design language and color use align seamlessly with the popular modernist currents of the interwar period (strongly related to the iconic designs by Charles Catteau for Boch Frères Keramis). A beautiful collector’s piece with a strong visual presence in both a classical and a modern interior.
