{"title":"Amphora Pottery","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1892, a Viennese pottery designer and merchant by the name of Alfred Stellmacher encouraged his sons and sons-in-law to start their own pottery manufactory. Two of his sons bought 600 porcelain molds and began what would later become the Riessner, Stellmacher, and Kessel Porcelain Manufactory. Two of the more accomplished designers (Eduard Stellmacher and Paul Dachsel) quickly gained a following for their unique niche in art nouveau ceramics. Their work went on to receive serval accolades at the 1893 and 1904 World Fairs, and this recognition served as the foundation for their success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmphora pottery is often marked with the word “amphora”, leading the Riessner, Stellmacher, and Kessel manufactory to be nicknamed “The Amphora Porcelain Works”. They employed a few other recognizable marks, such as a red “R.St.K” or simply the initials “RS\u0026amp;amp;K”. The pottery was often signed “Made in Austria”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of Amphora pottery is distinct due to the use of Stellmacher’s “ivory porcelain”, which is pliable, temperature-resistant, and gave the works a lusterless golden finish. Thanks to a myriad of skilled decorators from the Special Ceramics School of Teplitz, the pieces are lauded for their vibrant colors, innovative designs, and unique glazes.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golden age of Amphora Pottery lasted from 1892 until 1904, by which time Eduard Stellmacher and Paul Daschel had left the company. However, the pieces that came out of Amphora Porcelain Works are still recognized and celebrated to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fulper-1917-27-vintage-arts-and-crafts-pottery-yellow-blue-amphora-vase-661","title":"Fulper 1917-27 Vintage Arts And Crafts Pottery Yellow Blue Amphora Vase 661","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFulper 1917-27 Vintage Arts And Crafts Pottery Yellow Blue Amphora Vase 661 \r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGracefully elongated and fluidly glazed, this amphora-form vase features creamy yellow blending into soft blue, its tall tapering body and flared foot embodying the organic elegance of the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts movement.\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent original condition.
