Glass / Mid Century Green Heavy Thick Glass Scandinavian Vase?? Erkki Vesanto Iittala???
« Last post by LEGSY on July 20, 2024, 11:40:06 AM »
Found this nice heavy glass vase in a charity shop recently tucked at the back of a shelf to avoid it toppling
over, Luckily for me i bent down and spotted it and it was on a Saturday as well :)
I have done some research in to it and the nearest i can find so far is the pieces by Erkki Vesanto for IIttala
many of his are signed and i can't find this exact color as yet?? Wondered what other people think of it i love
it it has a lovely silky feel to the glass and a deep green color seems to be really good quality worth mentioning
is just above the base is a small line going around the vase just ever so slight like.
measures 20 cm tall.

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Re: Kralik / Welz Cranberry Draped?? Not so sure what it is...Any ideas??

I have seen your vase shape before Legsy (somewhere out there...), I would be very confident in a Kralik attribution given the colour and draped pattern. A couple more to compare patterns here.

Glass / Red and clear vase with horizontal facets
« Last post by Carnivant on July 19, 2024, 11:17:30 PM »
Hello,

I've had this vase for a while, but have never been able to identify it. It is 17 cm tall, has four horizontally faceted sides, and has a polished, unsigned base. Probably nothing special, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any ideas. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't either!  There is a lot of glass I don't like though  :-X  but then I have the option not to buy it :)

There are more Schachtenbach pieces and information here:
https://pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2014-3w-frauenau-schachtenbach-2014-katalog.pdf

Interestingly I often see that particular gilded effect on that snake jug on the front cover the exhibition document, listed as Saint-Louis such as here:
http://www.encheres-nantes-labaule.com/vente-aux-encheres/383-nantes-belle-vente-mobiliere-cloture-du-catalogue-le-1er-mars/128950-saint-louis-grande-aiguiere-en-cristal-opalin-l-anse-formee-d-un-enroulement-de-serpent-bleu-a-rehau

The numbering on your bottle also reminds me of Bohemian glass items.  Not sure why but I don't associate that with French glass but I could be wrong.

Is there any evidence of any gilding left on your snake?  Having looked closely a the photo it looks as if yours might have been entirely gilded?

I like most glass apart from Murano clowns, I really do not like those things.
