The Bohemian ceramic manufacture Amphora showed extraordinary finesse in the execution of its floral production series which was inspired by French and Belgian Art Nouveau. Nature itself served as the primary and endless source of inspiration. The threedimensional execution of these floral motifs was an outstanding feat of craftsmanship. Amphora was always striving to create high-quality objects and therefore developed their own, patented, type of ceramic known as 'ivory porcelain'.
