Based in Bodenbach, the firm became world-renowned for its \"Siderolith\" stoneware and high-quality Majolica. WS\u0026amp;S was particularly famous for its architectural approach to design, often utilizing deep relief and Greco-Roman influences. Their pieces are easily identified by the signature contrast between matte, terracotta-like exteriors and brilliant, jewel-toned interiors. Because the factory ceased production in the early 20th century, original WS\u0026amp;S jardinières have become highly sought after by international collectors for their durability and timeless aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemis Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42070752690270,"sku":"2040243","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/5807\/8302\/files\/Large_Italian_Majolica_Jardiniere_-_Ceramic_Centerpiece_with_Handles_2.jpg?v=1772098572","url":"https:\/\/artemisrow.com\/products\/antique-wss-majolica-jardiniere-wilhelm-schiller-son","provider":"Artemis Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
