On a tall green marbled oval base with floral festoons in relief around the edge. The art nouveau design dates back to the period when the goldscheider factory switched from reddish-brown terracotta to light-coloured stoneware. In search of a new stylistic identity, the company experimented with clay, colours and glazes. This also includes the period from 1918 to 1920, when ownership passed to walter and marcell goldscheider.
