Regular price
$26,500
This exquisite naturalistic stoneware vase was designed by Tade Sikorski, the son-in-law of Vilmos Zsolnay. Trained as an architect, Sikorski contributed to the design of the Vienna Opera House. The vase’s eosin-glazed handles unfurl like flower petals before tapering into embossed tree trunks and roots. Coneflowers in shimmering eosin bloom across the upper half, set against a deep oxblood glaze.

The Zsolnay factory rose to prominence following the 1867 formation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which brought an end to political unrest in Hungary. Influenced heavily by the Viennese Secession movement, the factory became known for its innovative designs. One of Zsolnay’s signature innovations, the “eosin” luster glaze—developed in the 1870s—enhances the flowing contours of botanical forms with an iridescent, metallic sheen.
