Sister Schmetterling
« on: December 22, 2012, 02:17:09 PM »
 Xmas Greeting Glitterati!!

I wondered if anyone knew anything about this little darling pictured??

Maker?? Value???
Apparently she is uranium but suspect she is "green"
Considering an offer made to me but not sure...

I vaguely remember seeing a sketch of an alternative Schmetterling but now can not find this on the forum... it was debated if the piece was ever made..

Your advice as ever is valued...

THANKYOU GLITTERATI!

 8) off to Tenerife 4 Xmas  8)
But will be online for all responses!!

Have a glittery sparkly Xmas
Antoinette


Xxxxxxx

Antoinette, here are three different 'Schmetterling' in blue:

Walther
Yours
Fait en Belgique

Pamela
Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

two images more of 'Fait en Belgique', of which I personally think that this one is nearest to the Brockwitz design, and possibly made by Scailmont.
Up to the present day I've not come across an exact Brockwitz 'Schmetterling' vase as pictured in their pattern books.  :'(

And just for fun a group of Walther Schmetterling, but who produced the smaller ceramic version in front? Another mystery...  :-X
