Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, an Arts and Crafts Siam variation glass claret jug, circa 1900, footed amphora form with single loop handle and bladed knop, cut with a band of scrolling tendrils and stylised lotus or water lily flowers, alternating between three and five petals, the stopper of hollow bisected twisted form, 37cm highNote: designed in the Venetian style for the service of the Prince of Siam, who commissioned Powell on his visit to London in 1897 for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the elegant form was popular both plain and cut. The cut design on this example is exceptionally unusual, drawing upon Harry Powell's interest in the historical revival, including Mannerist or English Renaissance motifs, as well as the culturally significant lotus flower motif. This could be an early prototype or experimental design, different from the more common engraved Art Nouveau inspired motif which appears on the examples produced for the service; see Evans, W et al. 1995, Whitefriars Glass, London: Museum of London, p.81, fig.82 for an illustrated example of the Water Lily or Lotus design on this form of decanter

Henri Gervex,  French 1852-1929- Study of a figure in Classical dress, standing in a rocky landscape and holding an amphora and a phiale; oil on canvas, signed 'H. Gervex' (lower left), 27.2 x 21.9 cm. Note:  Henri Gervex worked in the atelier of Pierre-Nicolas Brisset (1810-1890) before studying under Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889) at the École des Beaux-Arts, and later becoming an apprentice to Eugène Fromentin (1820-1876). Gervex produced a number of mythological scenes, typically depicting loosely-painted nudes in wooded or rocky landscapes, much like the present work.

Paul Daschel for Amphora   Art Nouveau shoulder vase with maiden, spiders Webb and a central moth motif. Circa 1900 Impressed monogram to the side 19cm high. Amphora Pottery - RStK – Riessner, Stellmacher and Kessel Alfred Stellmacher founded his first porcelain factory in Turn in 1876. The factory produced porcelain flowers which surpassed French pieces for quality. During the 1870’s, Stellmacher developed a new ceramic material which became known as ivory porcelain due to its soft yellowish shade and matte finish. The new material allowed the ceramist to create more complex modeling and detailing of shapes and applied designs. Stellmacher’s factory broadened production from flowers to decorative ceramic pieces in the Orientalism and Neo-Baroque styles. Neo-Baroque forms allowed greater innovations in design with handles shaped like monsters and pierced or waved bases and rims. At the Paris World Exhibition in 1889, Stellmacher received the Gold Medal, and he attained his greatest success at the end of the 19th century. In 1892, the Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel (RStK) porcelain factory started production in Turn. Alfred Stellmacher helped form the new company. All the owners were related to Alfred. Karl and Hans Riessner and Rudolf Kessel were his son-in- laws and Eduard Stellmacher was his son. Karl Riessner, who attended the Art Academy in Prague handled finances, Hans Riessner, who attended the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts the same time as Gustav Klimt, was technical director, and Rudolf Kessel handled trading issues. Eduard Stellmacher, who attended the Arts and Crafts Academy in Dresden, was the artistic director. Eduard’s brother-in- law and classmate from the Arts and Crafts Academy in Dresden, Paul Dachsel, was also a creative designer for Amphora. The new company was known as Amphora I. P
