Jardiniere by Amphora, RSTK Riessner Stellmacher and Kessel. Absolutely rare piece. I am not aware of a second jardinière of Amphora. The mistletoe always consists of a twin leaf. In Art Nouveau we regularly see the "femme fleur" popping up. That is the woman as the personification of a flower or plant. In this case twin women in symbiosis with the mistletoe. - About the artist
Tile and Fayence factory Amphora in the Dutch municipality Oegstgeest was founded in 1908 . Chris van der Hoef made a number of important designs around 1908. He made designs with a simple geometric decoration intertwined with lines and color boxes in the so-called Art Nouveau style. The factory was closed in 1933.
It was founded by Messrs van Sillevoldt and Perelaer. They became known, among other things, for a special glaze that did not or hardly crackle. In the Holland-Rijnland region, lime kilns and pottery factories were established along the Old Rhine, making use of the clay dredged up from the surrounding polders, from which they made bricks, roof tiles and pottery products. After the Rozenburg factory in The Hague went bankrupt, Amphora took over part of the raw material.
The famous pottery painter Sam Schellink also went to work for Amphora and painted many beautiful eggshell porcelain objects there. The artist Theodorus Verstraaten also worked for the company. Pieter Groeneveldt and Chris Lebeau received turning lessons from Gerrit de Blanken around 1923.
