This large ceramic vase, measuring 44 cm in height and produced by the Amphora manufactory in Czechoslovakia during the 1920s, displays robust craftsmanship and a richly layered decorative surface. The form stands out with its vertically segmented body in warm, golden ochre, featuring distinctively textured, semi-matte glossy vertical bands. Between them are raised panels adorned with stylized relief floral motifs—mainly roses—in muted pinks, ivory, and dusty blue, set against deeply saturated cobalt blue backgrounds. Additional cobalt accents highlight both rim and substantial foot, there finished with a subtle luster. The overall composition merges geometric division with organic ornamentation—an eloquent reflection of the transition from late Art Nouveau to the emerging Art Deco aesthetic, while the detailed reliefs add architectural depth. The vase shows no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration and remains in excellent, original condition, as expected from a well-cared-for collectible piece. The form of this vase narrates an era when orderliness of geometric lines met the exuberance of nature-inspired decoration. Its sculptured roses and bands of cobalt glaze evoke the interwar years—a harmony of nostalgia for organic beauty with a clear admiration for modernity. The restrained curves at the end of the Art Nouveau period are balanced by assertively structured vertical segments. This vessel seems to hold within it the quiet glow of a Mediterranean afternoon, lending any interior a depth of color and a timeless cadence of raised
