The Amphora manufacture was founded in 1892 under the name of Riessner, Stellmacher & Kessel (R.S.K.) Amphora in Trnovany, now in the Czech Republic (then Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia, Austria). Already in its early years, the factory received awards for the outstanding technical and decorative quality of its pieces at international exhibitions in Chicago in 1893, San Francisco in 1893 and 1894, and Antwerp in 1894. In 1905 Eduard Stellmacher left the company to form his own company and the firm was renamed Amphora Factory Riessner & Kessel. In 1910 Kessel also left, and between 1910 and 1945 the name of the factory became Amphora Works Riessner. In 1945 the factory was nationalised.
