Fischer Emil Budapest Hungary Pottery Vase Beautiful rare Emil Fischer Vase made in the late 1800's. This is a hand painted pitcher made in Hungary. This item has no cracks but does have crazing due to the age of the item but does not take anything away form this beautiful piece. A brief history on the Fischer ceramics: Ignác founded his own workshop at Pest in 1864. At first, he dealt only with painting the china products of other factories. However, he produced his own ceramics beginning in 1867. Similar to Zsolnay , Fischer also specialized in the production of ornamentally decorated ceramics. He was successful mainly with his Majolica ware, sold in Austria-Hungary and also sold for export. Fischer also produced pieces decorated with Chinese motifs sold at the Hungarian Exposition of 1885. He was successful in winning many major awards. Eventually his son Emil took over the operation. But by 1885, under the direction of Emil Fischer, the factory slowly began to lose its standing and eventually became the property of the Zsolnay Factory in Pécs in south west Hungary. Some have asserted that Zsolnay bought out the Fischers to put them out of business in favor of his own. This item is 11 inches tall and about 4 inches base diameter and diameter of the opening
