Lot Essay

This vase, with its landscape panorama and smoking fire decoration, is very comparable to an example designed by Tádé Sikorski, which is also decorated with the same coloured, opaque and eosin metallic glazes. See Éva Csenkey and Ágota Steinert, Hungarian Ceramics from the Zsolnay Manufactory, 1853-2001, 2002, p. 132 no. 108 (vase a).
