Author Topic: Fritz Heckert Enameled Vase, please take a look? (Read 784 times)

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine asked me to see if I could find out about this piece. It's been identified as a Fritz Heckert vase, and is initialed - but it's somewhat different than other Heckert pieces he's seen.

Can someone take a look and verify that this is a Heckert vase, and perhaps let us know more info about it?

Many thanks,

Kelli

Although it's initialled "F.H." the enamelled decoration doesn't look right for a Fritz Heckert piece...

Thanks, Glasshound - any ideas on who may have done this piece based on those initials, and number?

The signature looks in the right format for Fritz Heckert -but I agree neither the enamelling nor the shape are particularly him.

Most likely an anonymous glass enameller and someone later has 'helped' it along with a FH signature.

Photos rather fail here - it only I could handle it, it might suddenly feel much righter!

Cheers

M
