The figure is the work of Karl Klaus (1889-1925) and was crafted by the maker Ernst Wahliss around 1911. The figure depicts Salome, daughter of Herod II and Heordius, standing tall whilst reclining her neck, holding in her hands the severed head of John the Baptist. Richly decorated in a restrained palette of black, white, indigo blue, red and gold the figure is undeniably decorated in the Secessionist taste. Klaus was a student of Josef Hofmann and designed several figures and decorative pieces for Ernst Wahliss under the label 'Serapis Wahliss'. The figure is marked to the inside with the 'Serapis Wahliss' mark along with some registration marks and a rubbed overglaze 'signature' of some kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErnst Wahliss by the end of the 19th Century was Vienna's leading porcelain and ceramics retailer.

After Ernst's death his son Gerhard Martin Wahliss continued under his father's name and introduced in 1911 the 'Serapis Wahliss' range of white earthenware decorated in richly coloured enamels and motifs in keeping with the Secessionist taste of the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is in wonderful condition for a piece of its age.

Salvador Ysart, a Spanish born and French trained glass artist began working for John Moncrieff Ltd in 1922. It was around this time that Salvador worked in conjunction with John Moncrieff's wife Isobel to produced 'Monart Glass'. It was in 1947 when Salvador, and his two sons Augustine and Vincent left Moncrieffs to form Strathearn (Also known as Ysart Brothers Glassworks) and produced their own version of Monart called Vasart (Vasart later became the name of Strathearn\/Ysart Bros).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasures - 30cm H x 13cm D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antique Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39324059304007,"sku":"GP0279","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3042\/9254\/products\/GreenVase1.png?v=1618629070"},{"product_id":"art-deco-orange-vase","title":"Jugendstil Orange and Blue Glass Vase by Loetz","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unusual glass vase by Bohemian maker, Loetz.

Wendt Circa 1870","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis rather glorious sterling silver tazza or footed comport was likely made by John R. Wendt in the 1870s. The figural piece features a stepped circular base which is topped by a classical figure of a woman in a robe who is holding atop her head a domed silver bowl with two decorative handles. Whilst the piece is unmarked for a silversmith it is a design that is noted to be one by John R. Wendt (1826-1907) who was working in the second half of the 19th Century in New York. Wendt was known to rarely mark his work and his pieces are usually only marked for their retailer such as Ball, Black \u0026amp; Co. This piece is a beautiful example of American, 19th Century 'neo classical' style silversmithing and would be beautiful filled with a supply of fresh berries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarked - 'ENGLISH STERLING' and '166'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions - 29cm H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTotal weight of piece - 1061 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antique Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39820158369863,"sku":"SC0838","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3042\/9254\/products\/Tiffany-Centrepiece-1.jpg?v=1663550195"},{"product_id":"pair-of-small-ormolu-onyx-malachite-hardstone-oinochoe-ewers-circa-1870","title":"Pair of Ormolu, Onyx, Malachite \u0026 Hardstone 'Oinochoe' Ewers, Circa 1870","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis pair of Grand Tour era ewers are in the 'oinochoe' shape and date to circa 1870.

The piece has a ground snapped pontil to the underside which assists in authenticating the piece. Very few pieces of Loetz are signed, however this example is undoubtedly by the great glass manufacturer with several similar examples seen on the market.

The most remarkable thing about this delicate vase is that it is in such impeccable condition for its age, indicating it has never been dropped or seriously knocked. It's thought that plique-a-jour was introduced to Japan by Ando Jubei (1876-1953) and Kawade Shibararo (1856-1921) after seeing examples in Paris, from which they further perfected the technique. The proper Japanese term is known as 'shotai-jippo', which means cloisonne without backing. It is understood the metal body of the piece is dissolved after firing and polishing which was notoriously complicated and labour intensive. To the bottom of the vase is a white metal base which is unmarked, and to the top of the piece a white metal rim, also unmarked for a maker. Whilst hard to translate in photography, the vase is wonderfully translucent, and if held in the sunlight it glistens. Aside from some minor surface scratches to the piece, it is in impeccable condition and could be the standout piece for your own cloisonne collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions - 18cm H x 10.5cm W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTotal weight of piece - 556 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Antique Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44536481579317,"sku":"GP1919","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3042\/9254\/products\/Cloisonne-Plique-A-Jour-1.jpg?v=1677457807"},{"product_id":"inkwell","title":"Napoleon III Ebony and Ormolu Inkwell","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Napoleon III inkwell crafted from ebony, inlaid with brass boulle marquetry, an ormolu or gilt bronze pen tray, and a pair of crystal inkwells.

To each side of the bottle is a figure in relief, one made entirely of carved mother of pearl, the other a combination of red jasper and mother of pearl. To the underside the snuff bottle has Chinese characters which translate to 'm\u003cspan\u003eade in the Qianlong period', however it is likely this is a false mark that was added to give the illusion that the piece was older than it is.
