Topic: Fritz Heckert Enameled Vase, please take a look?

[eglass]

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

Hi Folks!

Anne just emailed me about this, and let me know the photos had been removed at some point - I have never removed images from yobunny, so not sure what happened. I uploaded them here in order to keep them, and I no longer have images or that piece.

Anne, I tried to respond to your message my "Messages" section, and got a popup saying I was "not allowed to send Personal Messages". Not sure what's up with that, either.

Hope you all are doing well.

Hi Kelli, thanks for popping in to reply. I'm baffled as to why your images have disappeared from GlassGallery, unless it was a server glitch of some type.   I'll see if I can fin them in an old back up file somewhere...  watch this space.
