| Description |
|
This is a porcelain vase manufactured by
Fischer J. Budapest. Ignác Fischer
acquired his knowledge of arts and crafts
in Hungary at his father’s manufacture of
ceramics in Tata-Tóváros. He then further
refined and developed his knowledge of
ceramics at the Herend factory, also in
Hungary. He was honored by the Austro-
Hungarian court and allowed to use the
title, von Fischer. He founded his own
workshop in Pest, Hungary, in 1864. (Pest
is the eastern half of modern Budapest. It
united with the western half (Buda and
Obuda) to become one city in 1873. He
dealt only with painting the china
products of other factories, then he
produced his own ceramics beginning in
1867. Fischer 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.
This precious porcelain vase is enamelled
and gilded with oriental motifs, it is armed
with two curvy handles and a golden
colour tulip-shaped opening. There is a
company mark at the bottom of the vase,
stamped in blue, ‘Fischer J. Budapest,’
Hungarian surnames are listed first in
company names, and the initials "J" and
"I" are the same letter-which is why the
mark on the vase is "Fischer J."
