Item # 4966. A very modern looking Zsolnay vase. This must have been a very difficult vase to execute. Standard c. 1899 factory dotted mark; form number (we believe) 5155. Size: 8" tall. Condition: very minor scuffs consistent with use and age. No restorations or chips. A similar form is pictured in "Secession Zsolnay Ceramics" written by Orsolya Kovacs on page 17 (that one has three handles) and that book was written in 2003. That item is in the collection of the Janus Pannonius Museum in Pecs Hungary. The glase here is a marbled labrador glaze with blue, lilac and purple eosin tones. The form reminds me of the Atomaton of the Brussells Worlds Fair. P.O.R.
