    Amphora Sea Monster Vase
    Bohemia, circa 1900
    14" high

    This piece has a powerful sense of motion. You can feel this sinister and muscular beast wrapping himself around a sea object, moments from his attack. Just what I love about so many Amphora pieces. You don't think of a vase when you see it. You experience an intriguing object with a personality that invites you into a relationship.

    I was lucky to find this wicked boy because Amphora collectors only know of one other like him. You can see him in the dramatic Amphora video by searching YouTube for "Amphora Pottery."

    There is also an Amphora Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Amphora.Pottery.

      Pleasantly terrified!

      I love the drama of this piece. Such artistry, such craftsmanship - absolutely magnificent! How did you find it? Was it at auction or in a store? Perhaps a private collector? You are indeed very lucky!

      I found him in an art gallery in Copenhagen hanging out with mostly Danish pottery. He looked like a foreigner in that crowd. The other one is owned by an Amphora dealer in Chicago. The monster is the same but the glaze on the rest of the vase is deep purple. Byron Vreeland, the author of the Amphora book Monsters & Maidens: Collector's Edition, has a vase that is the same mold in all respects except for the head. The head on his does not look like a cobra.
