| Much
of the collector interest in European ceramics
from the early 20th century has been focused on
western European countries, but a major art pottery
movement reflecting the design elements of the
Art Nouveau (Jugensdtil) and Secession periods
during which it arose was burgeoning in what was
then known as Bohemia. Traditionally, Amphora
referred to large Greek storage vessels with an
oval body, usually tapering toward the base, and
with two handles extending from just below the
lip to the shoulder. However, the area of central
Europe now part of Austria and Czechoslovakia
produced a very fine art pottery also known as
Amphora from the late 19th century until the early
20th century. Amphora employed very innovative
shapes including figurals especially during the
Art Nouveau period when their female busts were
sometimes monumental and reflected a level of
detail very seldom seen in porcelain manufacturing.
Amphora works also incorporated animals into their
designs including serpents, parrots, and dragons,
and other styles were unique to the Amphora manufacturers
such as the "drop edge candle vase". Amphora designs
began with a drawing or watercolor which captured
the desired finish look of the piece, and once
the design committee had given approval to the
design it was given a style number which was subsequently
impressed or inscribed on the bottom of Amphora
works. Many Amphora designs were produced in a
variety of sizes, with the larger and more substantial
being more complex to make and commanding higher
prices originally. As such, the larger size pieces
such as female busts are less common since they
were less affordable during their original production,
so they are consequently rarer and more desirable
for collectors. You can see some of the finest
Teplitz Amphora including the Art Nouveau porcelain
busts on the pages of the Collectics
Online Museum 1890-1935.
The
Turn-Teplitz Amphora ceramics in the rotating
exhibitions of the museum are fine examples
of the high point of the Art Nouveau and Art
Deco periods of design. You can continue learning
about finer antiques and collectibles, major
manufacturers, and design periods on the pages
of the Collectics Reference
& Education Program. Then, find only
the best reference books and price guides in
