Amphora - company founded in Turn-Teplitz (now in the Czech Republic) around 1892, first called RSt&K, after the company's founders: Riessner, Stellmacher and Kessel. Like many other pottery and porcelain factories in Turn-Teplitz at the turn of the 20th century, it benefited from the resources of kaolin mined nearby. The leading decorators of this period were Eduard Stellmacher, Paul Dachsel and graduates of the Special School of Ceramics and Glass in Teplitz, who created many of the magnificent Art Nouveau designs for which this pottery is still known today. The products varied from vases with women's faces in the style of Alphonse Mucha, vases with nymphs, products with images of animals to abstract and more modern organic decorations.
