Glazed Oxblood Vase by Hermann Seger for KPM

Glazed oxblood vase by Hermann Seger for KPM. Ink-stamped manufacturer's mark to underside of smaller example 'S.gr.P' with scepter mark and incised number 'PM 3060'. Germany: circa 1890 Hermann August Seger (1839-1893), produced numerous glaze and firing innovations that substantially increased KPM’s proficiency in designing moulds and working with colours. Among his many inventions, Seger developed new kinds of under glaze colours. Oxblood-, celadon-, crystal- and dripped glazes were created, inspired by Chinese ceramics, and they enabled new forms of artistic expression, making Seger an early pioneer of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
