Eduard Telcsca. 1910
Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest
Budapest, Hungary
The object reflects both the function of a vase and the typical characteristics of statuettes as means of decoration. The “faun” is a popular figure of symbolism its dynamic, naturalistic interpretation matches well the excessive curves of the vase. Contemporary critics established some common features between this piece and the bronze ox head vase, made by Elza Kövesházi-Kalmár and owned by the Hungarian National Gallery.
