The works of Hungarian manufactory Zsolnay, along with those of Amphora and Clement Massier, are in the pantheon of Art Nouveau ceramics. As with most of Zsolnay's Art Nouveau pieces, this vase has the renowned iridescent glaze that they called eosin. As you move around the vase different sections appear electrified. It mesmerizes me to no end.
Circa 1900

Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Superb...I have lusted after Zsolnay Eosin for years.
There is lust and there is lustre!
How fantastic! Most beautiful and delightful. In homage to vetraio, I am in lustre lust.
Thank you for the comments and good sense of humor.
Again must express love for this beautiful piece. One of my favorites posted, ever!
And Vetraio always cracks me up.
Very nice of you AmberRose. I wish I could take credit for the vase. I'm just a lucky caretaker.
If you ever need a break from those care taking responsibilities... : )
Absolutely beautiful!
Superb, I'm not sure flowers could hold up to the beauty of the vase
I added some close ups. However, I don't have a camera that can do them particularly well. At least you can see the detail in the glaze and get an added sense of the iridescence. I didn't use flash or artificial light. I had the front door open this afternoon and the sunlight found its way to the vase with this effect.
One of the most beautiful art nouveau vases I ever saw!
omg! breathtaking!
Beautiful! I love the iridescent pottery. Sicardo is another favorite of mine.
Wow, wow wow!!! Speechless.
stunning:) my friend:)
Thank you for the comments, all. I love Sicardo too, Spiperato. I have one posted that I fancy to no end.
