About the Item

Earthy, textured water lily leaf vase with gilted, figural stem arms which encircle the golden mouth of the piece with their flowers. Stamped Ernst Wahliss and numbered in the base. This design is attributed to Paul Dachsel. Already well established throughout Europe as a retailer of porcelain goods, in 1894 Ernst Wahliss took over production at the Stellmacher factory in Turn-Teplitz and began creating decorative ceramics under the name “Ernst Wahliss Kunst, Porzellan, und Fayence Fabrik.” Before striking out on his own, Paul Dachsel worked there as a designer, creating forms that added new breadth to the Art Nouveau style with modernist forms and experimental glazes.
