Czechoslovakia Amphora Vase - (need price)
« on: March 02, 2014, 05:55:27 am »
Hi,

recently i came into possession of a vase passed down from a family member. i have searched high and low on the net for anything that could be the same or similar to the price of the vase and have found nothing besides a few similar but not the same. i would like to know if anyone could either send me in the right direction to find out the value and history of the vase or if anyone could post a reply to this telling us what something like this is valued at. i will include a selection of photos for anyone who is interested in helping me out.

thanks for reading, KRB.

Amphora Work Reissner is the factory. Based in the Teplitz area of what is now the Czech Republic but is often referred to as Bohemia. ( you'll often see " Turn-Teplitz Bohemia " on some porcelain )

The factory was known as Reissner, Stellmacher & Kessel ( i've sold some items of theirs, always sell well ) until about 1910, so your vase is later.

Haven't sold any with this mark but if in excellent condition, i'd say £250-350 auction estimate but obviously higher for insurance.

One tip,, instead of looking for the same item in your searches always go to the company/factory mark !!  Different style vase does not always mean different value !! If you can find a similar vase with the same mark it would be a similar value !! Maybe a few dollars difference but usually not much !!
