Description:
This is a beautiful cobalt blue vase with Grecian(?) ladies in the center surrounded by a raised section of porcelain with gilding on it. The piece was made by Josef Strnact's factory in Austria. There is small chip on the bottom. Founded by Josef Strnact junior in 1881 the terracotta, majolica and faience factory in the former Austrian town of Turn-Teplitz (located 50km south of Dresden, Germany) was an instant success because of its wide product range. It included faience and majolica vases, garden pieces like flowerpots and pillars, umbrella stands, tobacco jars, mantel clock casings and continued over weaved and open worked stoneware like baskets and flower receptacles up to terracotta wall-pictures and a series of letters, which were made of majolica and used for company signs (system was patented by Strnact). Strnact opened a subsidiary in Geisingen (near Schaffhausen in Baden-Wuertemberg) in 1902 which was named 'Terracotta-, Majolica- und Fayencefabrik Strnact Junior'. To cope with the rising demand, Strnact purchased the ceramic factory of Anton Heller in Turn-Teplitz in 1909 and by 1910, his facilities in Turn-Teplitz alone employed over 300 people. In the late 1920s, Karl Zöttlein and Josef Pachmann became authorised signatories after Strnact slowly began to retire. In 1934 the complete business including the studio in Geisingen was taken over by Mr. Elly Schubert and Josef Pachmann. It seems to have vanished shortly after that.
