Art Nouveau porcelain figurine by Ernst Wahliss, Austria
Wonderful antique porcelain earthenware figurine depicting an elegant lady, fixing the bow of her bonnet as she confidently looks towards us. Kinetically posed and precisely balanced, the figurine is decorated with both matte and lacquer around the belt and rim of her outfit, with gilding to the highlights. Ernst Wahliss was a leading Vienna retailer in porcelain and ceramic goods, who established his store in 1863. His business was so successful that he was able to open another store in London, as well as take over the Alfred Stellmacher factory in Turn-Teplitz, today's Czechia. Ernst died in 1900. Two years later his sons, Hans and Erich, bought 600 moulds from the Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna. Using these moulds they started making reproductions of Vienna porcelain. Marked with the Wien crown mark, and dated to 1897 - 1906.
