I honestly don't know much about this vase. It is 8in x 5in vase. I know it is RStK because of the signature stamp on bottom, but I can't find one like this anywhere & that is where I need your help. If you have seen this, let me know. The RStK group was known for putting hidden dragons in the picture &/or scenery & if you look closeup there are dragons in the picture. Inside the apparent gold tracings these seem to be hidden dragons. Tried multiple times to upload 4 pictures & only 2 would upload.
Fabulous! Love the dolphin handle! Love Amphora, Riessner Stellmacher 'n Kessel.
Beautiful!......:-)
Vetraio50 has it right. Your vase is by Riessner, Stellmacher, and Kessel (AKA Amphora), which was one of the finest Art Nouveau pottery manufactories. Your piece is early Amphora circa 1895. I have the same mold, including the handle, but with a different décor on the vase. Mine has a bird and spider.
