For sale today we have this Absolutely Stunning Art Nouveau Stoneware Vase with Applied Silver Plated Pewter Mounts. The blue glazed ceramic section features a relief design of green slender foliate stems that run all the way up into the mount above. The pewter mount is incredibly detailed with 4 lots of leaves that wrap around the top of the vase, the handles are high and dramatic while there are further whiplash designs to the collar. Measures 10" tall. Marked to the base 889...0 R with hand painted XXVI. I have attributed the vase to Max Laeuger because everything about the ceramic section matches his style, from size, shape material and subject matter. I can find no reference of pieces of his being mounted with pewter but I am working on the basis that he supplied the ceramic to another company and hence the vase bears different marks to the usual. If anyone has information that differs from this I would be very much obliged to hear from them.
The pewter section is free from any damage with excellent definition to the intricate design. The vase has a flat chip to the base rim as photographed . This is a beautiful vase and would be a fine addition to your collection!
