Gerbing & Stephan - Jug - Majolica (glazed pottery) - Egyptian Revival Ewer

A beautiful and rare antique Egyptian Revival majolica ewer, made by the renowned Austro-Bohemian manufacturer Gerbing & Stephan around 1880. This museum-worthy object is a stunning example of 19th-century neostyle. The front features a beautifully detailed, three-dimensional Sphinx- or pharaoh-face that flows smoothly into the handle. The body is richly decorated with stylized lotus flowers, fine wickerwork, and a winged serpent on the shoulder. The deep, glossy majolica colors (olive green, deep blue, and terracotta) are typical of this period and manufacturer. Specifications: * Manufacturer: Gerbing & Stephan (Bodenbach, Austria/Czechoslovakia) * Period: Circa 1880 (19th-century antique) * Material: Majolica (glazed earthenware) * Style: Egyptian Revival * Mark on base: Fully marked with the official factory stamp ‘G. & St.’, model number ‘3841 / Z’ and a blind stamp (circle with a cross). Condition: The ewer is in a beautiful, authentic antique condition. There is a minuscule, barely noticeable chip at the nose (see detail photo). Furthermore, the object is otherwise fully intact, with no cracks or old restorations. A wonderful and honest collectible piece. Will be sent by registered/insured shipping and packed with care.
