Rare Ditmar Urbach Art Deco Pitcher, Czech 1930s
The Ditmar Brothers and the Urbach Brothers had merged what was left of their ceramics companies in 1910. Their primary facility was located in Teplitz-Turn, Czechoslovakia. From 1919 to 1938, they operated as Ditmar-Urbach A.G. and produced a large volume of decorative and functional ceramics, many employing forms and decoration typical of the Art Deco style. The form of this vase is unusual, being a double lipped pitcher with a loop handle, and the decoration employs zig zag, almost mountainous, designs in orange, yellow, purple and blue, which can also be found on other pieces from the factory and are typical of the styles of the era. The base is clearly marked ‘Ditmar Urbach’ ‘Made in Czechoslovakia’ which is not the case with all of the pieces made by the firm.Size: | Ht 29.5cm, Width (max) 20.5cm, Base Diam 13.5cm |
