Two-handled vase by Vilmos Zsolnay, £5800 at Dawsons.
It was then that Zsolnay perfected his iridescent Eosine glaze and employed his principal designer, Tade Sikorski.
This vase offered for sale by Dawsons (23% buyer’s premium) in Maidenhead on September 30 is a good example: an organic Art Nouveau two-handled design standing 10in (25cm) high and numbered 6194.
Estimated at £200-300, it attracted plenty of interest from its native Hungary before it sold at £5800.
