Merletto, another Harrtil?????

(1/2) > >>

chuggy:
I'm only posting this because all of the Bavarian Harrtil examples I've seen, which are not a lot have been devoid of colour and the bowl shown below does have a very Italian looking feel to it and is also thicker than the Harrtil pieces I've had before, so opinions please.

Hi Paul

Your bowl is Harrtil made at Harrachov by one of a number of designers, Marcus suggests these Harrtil items would also have been made at other factories – still Czech and Harrtil.

I posted one bowl of my own in same shape / colour as yours and a green streaked example in the following thread where Marcus gives some good answers

I want to collect the series of streaked colours in the bowl form we both have - I wonder how many colours there are?

I love the quality of these pieces and this one was incorrectly listed under Murano and I managed to pick it up quite cheaply. When you think what the Seguso merletto pieces make these are still remarkably good value.

As Czech glass gets more collectable items like these bowls will prove to be a good investment.

Glad you got it cheaply as with the right attributions they can sell for up to £30+ on eBay.

Think of the work to get that intricate internal netting effect, then the coloured streaks, which do seem rarer as most Harrtil I see is clear glass

This was cutting edge in the 1950s. The Studio Year Book for 1956 shows a Harrtil vase saying it was designed by Milos Pulpitel, the vases and technique probably warranted an article in one of the magazines of that year.

I sold a clear vase a couple of months ago and it made over £70 which was fine as it was a duplicate, but I'm just picking up the odd bit when I see it as something for the future.
