On vase’s porcelain is applied a kind of unglazed terracotta clay on top which flows to the bottom. The edge and top of the vase is decorated with painted gilt and overlaid with a circle pattern. The piece has been handcrafted to perfection. The base marked in blue with company crown and ‘Depose EW Turn Wien Made in Austria’ that dates this piece to the end of 19th century. Ernst Wahliss was born in 1836. He was a leading Vienna retailer in porcelain and ceramic goods. His Vienna store was established in 1863. His business was so successful that he was able to open another stores in major European cities such as London and to supply many of the European royal families in ceramics of the highest quality. In 1894 Ernst Wahliss decided to take over the Alfred Stellmacher factory in Turn-Teplitz (situated in today's Czechia). He renamed the factory to Ernst Wahliss Kunst, Porzellan und Fayence Fabrik. The company produced large quantities of various wares and received numerous awards at exhibitions. Ernst died in 1900. Two years later his sons, Hans and Erich, bought 600 moulds from the Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna. Using these molds they started making reproductions of Vienna porcelain. In 1905 the company was renamed to Alexandra Porcelain Works Ernst Wahliss. In 1907 the factory was acquired by Gerhard Martin Wahliss. In 1910 the factory focused on production of faience. The factory temporarily closed due to the World War I. In 1921 it became part of Porzellanfabrik Union AG and in 1929 production ended.
