The draped maiden holds a gilded bowl in her left hand and a two-handled amphora in her right. Individually applied pink roses descend from the bowl along her gown to the circular base.

the matte ivory porcelain is decorated in airbrushed olive green, cream and pink, accented with matte gilding. The face and exposed skin are left in unglazed biscuit. Impressed factory markings comprise the imperial crown, oval "amphora" and "austria" marks, model number "4941", factory number "33" and the letter "d". The imperial crown mark underpins the attribution to amphora's premium quality line.

the manufactory received major awards at the chicago world's columbian exposition in 1893 and the st. Louis world's fair in 1904. Its substantial size, sculptural floral decoration and refined modelling give this statuette particular appeal to collectors of amphora and bohemian art nouveau porcelain.
