A beautifully preserved example of Austrian Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) porcelain artistry, this elegant two-handled vase was produced by the Robert Hanke Porcelain Factory in Ladowitz, Bohemia, around 1900-1910.


The vase features a transfer-decorated and hand-finished portrait of a young woman surrounded by roses — a motif symbolizing beauty, love, and renewal. The decoration is framed by soft golden scrollwork and stylized floral accents.

Its surface displays a rich red-to-amber gradient glaze, characteristic of Robert Hanke's signature luster finishes. The graceful amphora form, with twin loop handles and a narrow neck, embodies the flowing organic lines of the Art Nouveau movement.

Historical Note

The Robert Hanke Factory (RH Austria) was established in 1882 in Ladowitz, Bohemia, a region then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Known for its high-quality art porcelains and innovative glazes, Hanke's work paralleled that of Amphora and Ernst Wahliss, often featuring romantic portraiture and stylized natural forms.

Pieces like this vase reflect the Vienna Secession influence — blending romantic subject matter with the sinuous, organic elegance that defined turn-of-the-century European design.

Today, RH Austria vases are prized by collectors for their graceful forms, luminous glazes, and period charm, often found in private and museum collections of Art Nouveau ceramics.
