Featured Is this planter by Julius Dressler, what age and style do you think it is?

Hello everyone! I would appreciate some help with this planter (?) 5"H x 4.75"W, I picked up recently. From a little research I think the mark on the base is for Julius Dressler, Austria. I can't find any example like this one, do you think it is of the Egyptian revival design he was known for? Any info or feedback you may have would be great! Thanks

 

Rontgen says so, and it shows up that way in an online search. A bit of work went into that. Have you checked Porcelain Marks and More?

That's a nice piece.

 

Thanks! I did just now, can't find anything although perhaps I am missing something.

 

No, it wouldn't be considered Egyptian Revival. This is an example of a piece of his that is.

Hmm. I'm finding it hard to place the design on mine with other examples of Dressler's pieces!

 

The design may be different from the piece Deborah shows, but the technique is very similar.

 

His work is generally described as Jugenstil or Secessionist, both related to Art Nouveau.

1910-1930 then?

This is great, thank you!!

 

Looks to be!

 

I handled quite a few. seems that the different marks were used parallel but differed for the styles and material.
the top one was used for Jugendstil and Siderolith (ironstone) mostly.
the second was cheaply printed and most probably used during wartime and the post-war years; not underglaze but a simple ink stamp that sometimes washed off.
the third is the rarest because it was used on everyday items and the company was fading away.
this one here is - for me anyway - a transitional piece after the pure Jugendstil lost its attraction and many companies tried to find new styles (Amphora etc.).

 

Thank you. I appreciate the knowledge, especially since you have handled some of the pieces before!

 

kept only two. both typical Jugendstil and with the first mark.
first a jardinière in ironstone, second one a heavy - most probably - terracotta vase of 60 centimeters.

 

These are beautiful

 

on the top one you see one of the main problems with ironstone - it's too hard, so the colors don't stick enough on the surface.

 

Ah yes I see, is ironstone white under the paint? Mine appears to be white as there is an area of some little paint loss.

 

I think yours is too massive. normally ironstone is rather thin and relatively light and is heated up to very high temperatures in short time.

 

All beautiful items!

@Fid , I always enjoy when you share photos of pieces from your collection.
