Featured Art nouveau jug porcelain!

Hello all! I need your help.
I bought this at the thrift today. Very unlike me to buy a porcelain piece that's not an animal.
I was taken by the organicness of it. It's practically alive! I think it is porcelain because the bottom is very smooth like my fine porcelain animals. My first thought was Austrian, but really, I don't know and can't find a match. It is 10 and 3/4 inches tall. 27.31cm.
Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks so much!

 

Very Wizard of Oz.

WHAT?! How did you find that Roar? I've been looking for hours! Thank you!

 

Image searching the entire image just gave me many Art Nouveau things. I then used its unique detail, the shape of the opening. This came up in that search.

 

@Roaring20s ........... still at the top of your game, my man !!!!

 

its a beauty !!

............and being attacked by that thing that came out of john hurts chest in alien i think

 

Great thrift store find!

 

This vase screams Amphora.

Love it!!!

 

Well that's gonna take a while to unsee!

 

Thanks so much all!
One more question please. Has anyone ever tried to restore worn gold gild on something like this? Is it best to leave it alone?

 

i was thinking the same thing.......and really think that would be the icing on the cake

can't remember if these blush ivory types are glazed or not........i'm thinking not with that wear, so touching it up might be easier

wondering if the gilding went right down to those bottom details as well

looks like the example roaring found has been touched up......and green

 

the gold you add would have to be darkened to match though as gilding darkens (especially after so long)

 

You can buy little bottles of gold leaf. It comes in numerous shades.
You may have to do a little blending into the original gold, but it worked well for me.

That's beautiful, and as Brad stated, a helluva thrift find!

 

I think it has a matte glaze. I would leave it alone. It would be fairly obvious, and worn gilding, although not desirable, is not a huge detraction and honest wear

 

Agree. Honest wear from age.

it would niggle at me (its just the central handle part that annoys), but when you take into account how extensive the gilding is....agree maybe right to leave

I had trouble finding the image, here it is ...

glassluv will need to ask an expert collector of this, as to why it's not fully marked.
