The works of Hungarian manufactory Zsolnay, along with those of Amphora and Clement Massier, are in the pantheon of Art Nouveau ceramics. As with most of Zsolnay's Art Nouveau pieces, this vase has the renowned iridescent glaze that they called eosin. As you move around the vase different sections appear electrified. It mesmerizes me to no end.
The second, third, and fourth photos were taken without use of flash or any other artificial lighting
Circa 1900

Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Superb...I have lusted after Zsolnay Eosin for years.
There is lust and there is lustre!
How fantastic! Most beautiful and delightful. In homage to vetraio, I am in lustre lust.
Thank you for the comments and good sense of humor.
Again must express love for this beautiful piece. One of my favorites posted, ever!
And Vetraio always cracks me up.
Very nice of you AmberRose. I wish I could take credit for the vase. I'm just a lucky caretaker.
If you ever need a break from those care taking responsibilities... : )
Absolutely beautiful!
Superb, I'm not sure flowers could hold up to the beauty of the vase
I added some close ups. However, I don't have a camera that can do them particularly well. At least you can see the detail in the glaze and get an added sense of the iridescence. I didn't use flash or artificial light. I had the front door open this afternoon and the sunlight found its way to the vase with this effect.
One of the most beautiful art nouveau vases I ever saw!
omg! breathtaking!
Beautiful! I love the iridescent pottery. Sicardo is another favorite of mine.
Thank you for the comments, all. I love Sicardo too, Spiperato. I have one posted that I fancy to no end.
So very beautiful!
I just fell in love with this vase....really nice!!!

Thank you for the comments Elisabethan, Moonhill, and antiquerose.
I added new photos to show more sides of this vase.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!! I so envy your collection!! :) wow !!
i did a little research on the use of the flanders poppy in ceramics and discovered that it became an extremely popular subject in 1915 - due to WWI. do you think this might be from 1915?
That is an interesting discovery, ho2cultcha. Zsolnay numbered their pieces in a chronological fashion, allowing one to know the date within a 1-2 year range. My poppy vase was made right around 1900.
Just posted three new photos, all taken in natural light, to complement the one in the mix that was professionally done.
Thanks for the love, Aycockonxion.
