Vase

Manufacturer Amphora Factory Austrian
ca. 1895–1904
Not on view
The vase made at the Amphora Pottery in Austria likely served as a model from which the mold was taken to produce a vase of the identical organic form, but made in the United States at the Hampshire Pottery, in Keene, New Hampshire, ca. 1904-14. While the shape and relief decoration appear to be identical, the finish of the two are quite different. Here, the cream-colored body is embellished selectively with a greenish bronze finish, while the Hampshire example is covered in an allover matte green glaze, a finish that found great favor in American art pottery of the time.
