Your vase is in the Art…

Your vase is in the Art Nouveau style, which was very popular from the 1890's through to Woprld War One (1914). The mark RS&K stands for The Amphora Porcelain Works, run by Reissner, Stellmacher, and Kessel, their company used a variety of marks with the word Amphora or the initials RS&K. The Teplitz-Turn area of Bohemia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was home to art pottery manufactured by a number of companies.

Amphora was formed 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 company reached it's peak in 1904, but remained in operation until about 1945.

Values vary for these Amphora Pieces depending on size and quality of decoration, comparable examples to this one now go at auction in the $275-$400.00 range.
