The bronze has been cleaned professionally. Franz Bergmann (1838 - 1894) was a professional chaser from Gablonz who came to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. His son Franz Xaver Bergmann (1861 - 1936) inherited the Company and opened a new foundry in 1900. From that time the Bergmann bronzes were marked with the "jar" mark and outstanding works were signed "Nam Greb" (Bergman spelled backwards). Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs by Franz Bergmann the elder. The piece bears the Bergmann logo B in the urn or amphora and is marked AUSTRIA - We can send you valuable information about hallmarks of Vienna Bronzes, just contact us.
