This authentic turn-of-the-century (circa 1900–1905) Art Nouveau "Heliosine" pottery vase was crafted by the renowned Karl Rudolf Ditmar factory in Znaim, Austria.

Standing at 10.5 inches tall, this vase l form mimics a stylized iris flower with elegant sweeping tendrils.
The Heliosine metallic luster glaze is vibrant, throwing off brilliant gradients of emerald green, deep purple, and gold depending on how the light hits it.

The underside is fully marked with impressed mold/serial numbers "20382", the production designation "1/4", a capital "M", and the faint circular factory crest.

Measures:
10.5” tall x 4.5” across the base.

The iridescent glaze is in vibrant condition with no major scratches or fading.
There are two tiny, minor chips located completely on the underside of two flared upper leaves. These are entirely invisible when the vase is on display and can only be seen when the piece is turned upside down. *** See Photos *** The chips are difficult to photograph because of the iridescence.

An exceptional, display ready addition for serious collectors of European Art Nouveau, Amphora, or Jugendstil ceramics
