OBJECTS Metamorphoses of Nature: Organic Morphology Part of service decorated with irises, c. 1900 Carl Knoll, Rybáře u Karlových Varů (Fischern bei Karlsbad) Porcelain painted with bright colours, gilded; max. height 25 cm (coffee pot) Production of porcelain tableware mostly relied on traditional forms, adopting painted or printed Art Nouveau designs with some restraint. The Rybáře tableware service represents one of the most distinctive examples of Bohemian porcelain’s Art Nouveau biomorphic stylisations, apparent both in the dynamic modelling of forms and painted floral decoration.
