A PAIR OF TURKISH ÇANAKKALE-STYLE POLYCHROME-PAINTED AND GILT ZSOLNAY POTTERY EWERS Zsolnay manufacture, Pécs, Hungary, ex-Ottoman Western Provinces, ca. 1878 - 1900Each of typical pyriform shape, resting on a short, circular foot, rising to a long, tapering neck surmounted by a bulbous head designed in the shape of a mythical creature with short horns, bulging eyes and an everted beak-like spout, to the side of each ewer a rope-twisted handle, the exterior painted in cobalt blue, manganese purple, sage green, and teal with golden highlights against a milky white ground, the ewer's design typical of Turkish Çanakkale creations whilst the decoration and the palette reminiscent of Ottoman Iznik and Damascus ceramics, consisting of lush floral arrangements with serrated saz leaves, prunus blossom branches, rosette scrolls, and large lotus flower sprays, the front of each ewer further embellished with applied moulded floral roundels, and the handle decorated with alternating blue and purple beaded bands, each base presenting the ZSOLNAY PÉCS mark with the "Five Churches and Family Initials", as well as the production form numbers of this series (stamped '753' ZV Pécs and '6', and painted '22').each approximately 36cm high In 1853, the Zsolnay factory was established by Miklós Zsolnay in Pécs, Hungary. In 1865, his son Vilmos Zsolnay joined the company and became its manager and director, spearheading the rapid and remarkable success of this manufacture at international exhibitions and art fairs all around the world. The factory mark on the base of our ewers was designed by Júlia Sikorski, Vilmos' daughter, possibly for the factory's debut at the 1878 Paris Exhibition, where the Zsolnay factory was eventually awarded a gold medal. For the design, Julia was inspired by the Medieval name of her family's hometown, Pécs, which meant "Five Churches". To the right of the mark, one can read the initials T.J.M. standing for Térez, Júlia and Miklós, the first names' initials of the three children of Vilmos, heavily involved in the running of the factory at that time. This mark remained in use from 1878 until 1900 and is usually accompanied by the production form numbers, indicating the date of the original release of the piece. Interestingly, another Çanakkale-style Zsolnay pottery ewer recently sold at auction in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Potteries Auction, 7 March 2024, lot 322) presents the same form numbers of our pair ('753' Z. V. PECS), suggesting they were all most probably part of a special series inspired by Turkish Çanakkale creations. each approximately 36cm high Qty: 2
