Gottlieb Elster and Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin1899
Bröhan-Museum
Berlin, Germany
The German sculptor and medalist Gottlieb Elster designed this vase in 1899 for KPM - Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin. Out of its conical body grow flowering irises and two female heads. The basic motif corresponds to the metamorphosis of man and nature, which was applied as an aesthetic ideal, because of the organic, moving lines, especially at the end of the 19th century.
