X 15  7\/8\" tall. No cracks, chips, or restorations.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilhelm Schiller began production of porcelain and earthenware in Bodenbach,\nBohemia in 1829, operating under the name of Schiller and Gerbing. In 1885, the\nfirm was dissolved and renamed Wilhelm Schiller and Son and remained in\noperation until the onset of World War I. It is unknown whether the firm of\nSchiller and Gerbing produced majolica, but the firm of Wilhelm Schiller and Son\nis clearly the most prolific of the Bohemian manufacturers of majolica.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe color palette used by Bohemian majolica makers including Schiller is much\nmore subdued than that of their Staffordshire counterparts. The background of\nmany Schiller pieces is of a matte-finished taupe, light gray or turquoise with\nglazed surface features in various shades of brown and black. The interiors are\nusually glazed in turquoise. Much of the firm’s production reflects the\ntransition from traditional Victorian majolica to the Art Deco style. The most\ncommon Schiller pieces are decorative vases, jardinieres, table centers and\newers. No examples of Schiller majolica plates, bowls or other functional\ntable-wares are known.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilhelm Schiller and Sons majolica was marked with the letters ‘WS\u0026amp;S’ that was\neither impressed or contained within a raised cartouche.","brand":"sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46380501008600,"sku":"3095665729_DE14","price":410.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6284\/7960\/files\/16-c1900-wilhelm-schiller-austrian-majolica-vase-1175-wide-with-handlesestate-fresh-austin-640159.png?v=1757823343","url":"https:\/\/estatefreshaustin.com\/es\/products\/estatefreshaustincom-3326","provider":"Estate Fresh Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
