FISCHER J BUDAPEST ~1880’s Reticulated Ceramic Vase This stunning Art Nouveau style reticulated vase was made during the golden period of Art Nouveau (1880-1920) when the pieces created were unequaled. This masterpiece vase was created by the famous Fischer J Budapest ceramics workshop in the 1880's. This vase is very impressive with exotic its unusual shape & design, & also by the amazing depth & layers of colors that have been meticulously applied by hand to this piece. This vase is not only desirable for its significant artistic value, but also for its amazing & dramatic decorative appeal. This piece is a showstopper and is guaranteed to turn some heads. An amazing piece from award winning master craftsman…to say they don’t make pieces like this anymore is a real understatement. This is any incredible example of late 1800's art ceramics. The hand-painting is beautifully done with a stunning palette of colors. This vase is not perfect, with a repair & a chip missing to top rim to note – but still displays beautifully. There is mild to moderate crazing throughout . DETAILS: ~ ca. 1880's Fischer J Budapest reticulated ceramic vase. ~ Blue ink "Fischer J Budapest " mark.~ The Hungarian surname is always quoted first. Also, "I" and "J" are the same-hence "J"="Ignac" (see history-below). Fischer J Budapest history: Ignác Fischer acquired his knowledge of arts & crafts in Hungary @ his father's manufacture of ceramics in Tata-Tóváros. He then further refined & developed his knowledge of ceramics at the factory in Hungary . 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 say that Zsolnay bought out the Fischers to put them out of business in favor of his own. Size – 12” TALL BY 6.5” DIAMETER ACROSS TOP RIM CONDITION – GOOD OVERALL ANTIQUE CONDITION – This vase is not perfect, with a repair & a chip missing to top rim to note – but still displays beautifully. There is mild to moderate crazing throughout vase. Repair is to the bottom (looks like 2 scalloped rim edges were cracked/broken clean and repaired) – visible more when vase is turned over (see pics) previous owner’s repair job was done well. Also when turning the vase over – you can see a few of the base nubs are a little more worn down than the others – not uniform wear… but doesn’t effect way vase stands (stands straight)..
