Amphora - company founded in Turn-Teplitz (now Czech Republic) around 1892, initially under the name RSt&K, after the company's founders: Riessner, Stellmacher and Kessel. Like many other pottery and porcelain factories in Turn-Teplitz at the beginning of the 20th century, it benefited from the kaolin resources mined nearby. The main 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 beautiful Art Nouveau motifs for which this pottery is still known today. The products ranged from vases with women's faces in the style of Alphonse Mucha, vases with nymphs, products with animal images, to abstract and more modern organic decorations.
