ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 10 cm Width: 18 cm Depth: 14 cm Condition: Good condition with minor signs of wear to surface Circa: 1890 Materials: Earthenware SKU: 9220 ABOUT Ernst Wahliss (Austrian, 1837 ~ 1900) During the late 1880s, Ernst Wahliss had established himself as Vienna's leading retailer for porcelain. In 1863 he opened a shop in Vienna, expanding in 1879 and opening a branch in London. In 1894, he acquired the factory of Alfred Stellmacher in Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia, and began to produce decorative ceramics under the name 'Ernst Wahliss Kunst-, Porzellan und Fayence-Fabrik'. The business was taken over by his sons Erich & Hans. By 1910 the factory at Turn-Teplitz had some 500 employees. The business eventually closed in 1930. Art Nouveau Art Nouveau was a movement that swept through the decorative arts and architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Generating enthusiasts throughout Europe and beyond, the movement issued in a wide variety of styles, and, consequently, it is known by various names, such as the Glasgow Style, or, in the German-speaking world, Jugendstil. Art Nouveau was aimed at modernizing design, seeking to escape the eclectic historical styles that had previously been popular. Artists drew inspiration from both organic and geometric forms, evolving elegant designs that united flowing, natural forms with more angular contours. The movement was committed to abolishing the traditional hierarchy of the arts, which viewed so-called liberal arts, such as painting and sculpture, as superior to craft-based decorative arts, and ultimately it had far more influence on the latter. The style went out of fashion after it gave way to Art Deco in the 1920s, but it experienced a popular revival in the 1960s, and it is now seen as an important predecessor of Modernism.
