  1. You are right czechman. One of these Amphora dragons appeared on Antiques Roadshow on April 8 in Cincinatti. The Google search "Antiques Roadshow Amphora dragon" will locate the video. Like the...
  2. Thank you for the comments, all. I love Sicardo too, Spiperato. I have one posted that I fancy to no end.
  3. Thank you for the loves and comments everyone.
  4. Simple, elegant form. Lovely piece.
  5. Hello Bellin, I just scanned Ginni's (before I realized that vetraio already sent you the link) and can't find it. Sorry.
  6. Wonderful personality to this vase. I love how it leans.
  7. Whoops. My other Princess posting doesn't have a photo of the back. Well, like you see on the front (minus the Princess), the back has the lavender forest on the top half and green with roses on the...
  8. Cogito, I haven't heard her called Queen of Hearts. Richard Scott, the author of the other Amphora book, calls her Allegory of Russia, although there is no evidence that Amphora called her that. By...
  9. It is a very tactile piece, Geno. Thanks for the comment.
  10. Researching Amphora on the net is tricky for newcomers because so many folks, including some auction houses and antique dealers get it wrong. I'll tell you this much to spare you a difficult path. R...
  11. Same to you, Bellin.
  12. Thank you, epson. I hope you acquire a piece of Amphora some day. You'll see the great variety of forms and decors they made on the Amphora Facebook page. It's hard to not fall in love with at leas...
  13. Very tasty piece.
  14. Sorry, cogito. She won't go anywhere without me now. We're madly in love.
  15. And a holly, jolly to you, Bellin!
  16. And to you vetraio!
  17. I checked one of my Zsolnay books and found that mark: 1889.
  18. Hello Bellin, I got a new job in April that is consuming me---in a good way. So I've had to cut back on all the pottery fun. Thanks for thinking of me. I'll be sure to check out your latest goodie...
  19. I would love to explore these buildings.
  20. Hi Susan, Maybe you included a period at the end of the address (after the .com). Please try again -- algreen@live.com -- and let's see if it works. I get messages from Europe so I don't know why y...
  21. Hello glenfield, I picked this up via an auction house so you could say I paid fair market value. I'd be happy to discuss the value of Amphora wasp vases by email. Please send me a note at algreen@...
  22. "A riot of organic glaze forms" is an apt description. It is gorgeous.
  23. That is one of the most attractive Art Nouveau tiles I have seen.
  24. I added new photos that were taken in natural light.
  25. Thank you for the comments and loves. I'll work on getting better photos posted.
  26. Hello ginnycripe, Amphora exported a strong majority of its pottery to America. These dragon vases do pop up here and there if you watch the auctions. I'll hang on to mine. . .by the tail.
  27. I agree with you about the way most pieces are photographed. Good of you to inject some playfulness into things.
  28. It is gorgeous.
  29. I realized that my previous photo was the back side, which doesn't have as much gold application. Now you can see the front in all its glory.
  30. What a lively and happy vase. It must cheer up a room with good vibes.
  31. Yes, want to see a photo of you wearing it!
  32. I like the way it leans. Makes it more interesting.
  33. Cogito, regarding this particular Amphora form Byron Vreeland (author of the Amphora book Monsters & Maidens: Collector's Edition) says in his book that some have the Paris 1900 mark, which Amphora us...
  34. Thank you for answering that so well, vetraio.
  35. I remember when I fell in love with them, Budek. It was a fine feeling.
  36. Hello Moonmooring, I notice that the first two photos you posted are of the back side of the vase. I call it the back because the flowers don't have the same amount of gold application as the other ...
  37. I had mine, too. Loved it.
  38. 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 o...
  39. Very cool.
  40. They have a nice Art Nouveau look.
  41. Elegant.
  42. A character that never goes out of style. We really don't know much about him do we? He just sat on a wall and became famous--the hard way.
  43. Very tasty. Perfect design.
  44. Excellent taste as usual, cogito.
  45. I would display that and enjoy it every day. Too beautiful for a box.
  46. They look very good with the plate, which I love everytime I see it.
  47. Her pose is gorgeous and her face is beautiful. It must make you melt to sit in a dark room with just this lamp on.
  48. You have a fabulous Amphora (Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel) wasp vase. What a nice auntie! Thank goodness you held onto it and didn't give it away for a song. You can see a few of mine posted on...
  49. The labels give them great character.
  50. Maybe Josef Strnact of Austria. Check out this old ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JOSEF-STRNACT-JS-AUSTRIA-SCULPTED-GRAPE-POTTERY-VASE-/370165104750
