Alfred Stellmacher jar

I've found this sweet thing. Problem is I csnt find anything else like it on T'Interweb. I have searched for Alfred Strllmacher and the grand majority of results seem to be 'amphora' productions which are organic lumpy things. Surely he must have produced other subtly decorated items like this? Or maybe its a different Stellmacher?

When you search do you specify "Alfred Stellmacher Turn Teplitz"?

 

I added teplitz yea.

 

I have had another look and have found similar pattern with the blue decoration but still big lumpy bits on. Maybe that's the stuff which interests people.

 

Hi Jim. What do you mean by "lumpy bits?"

 

Here is your mark for dating purposes if you haven't already found it. From Rontgen's book of marks.

 

If you look up stellmacher pieces you'll see. They have bits stuck out all over the place.

 

Thanks. First I have seen of the mark in print and was starting to wonder of ot was a copy

 

sweet thing is right..........good eye !!!

 

Here’s a jar of similar form with the Alexandria Porcelain Works mark. There’s more on the web, this was the first to show in google image results.

This is info from Rontgen's about the factory and successor below. He has the later name as Alexandra rather than Alexandria as that seller has and doesn't have the mark they show so I have no idea if they are right or wrong in what they say in their listing. Way beyond me.

The mark I posted a bit back is #420. This suggests that the molds Alexandra acquired were after Stellmacher's time assuming his mark was not used longer than Rontgen thought.

 

Okay thanks for the info all. I have some digesting to do.

 

Don't EAT the Jar !!!!!!!
