U.S.A. - RENO-NEVADA - MONSTERS AND MAIDENS : AMPHORA POTTERY OF THE ART NOUVEAU ERA


Between 1892 and 1918 the Amphora Pottery Company manufactured thousands of remarkably imaginative and delicately crafted ceramic vessels in its workshop in Teplitz, Austria. From snarling dragons and sea creatures to medieval maidens and lily pads, the wares of the Amphora pottery makers were influenced by artistic and literary movements ranging from Symbolism and Secessionism to Art Nouveau. This exhibition features twenty stunning examples of Amphora Pottery from the Southern California collection of Byron Vreeland.
