Topic: Tall 11" Czech or Austrian 1930s Tango?

[Andy]

Found this, at a irresistable price, its a nice bright red, 3 layers, clear inside, red, cased in clear, the green speckles are in the outer clear level. 11 inches tall.
Its 1920s/30s lots of age wear.
I suppose it could be called a Tango vase. Good quality, with the 3 layers, i dont think its quite loetz standard,
(although colours not far off )but i would imagine one of the Czech/Austrian makers from the Deco period.

Anyone recognise it, or have any ideas?
Cheers

I have seen this vase a few times, but don't know who did it. It is not tango, the way that I understand Tango. Your vase is a bright red vase with inclusions. Tango has applied contrasting details, such as applied glass rim and lines accentuating the form of the vase, instead of inclusions.

Tango collectors strictly distinguish the terms - but the technology is simmilar in fact - transparent coloured glass is overlapped by clear crystal glass.
Anzway piece, Andy, is not Austrian or Czech but Bohemian - I must teach you all the time  . - but very nice.
I know that it is often attributed to Kralik, but it can be fabricated any other factory in region.

Thanks Jindrich,
Bohemian  :thup:
I saw the history lesson on the 'Czech historical calendar ' yesterday, and forgotten already

I did think Kralik a possibilty, but as you say , could be many factories.

State has changed names so often...

But the term "Bohemian" is very correct and exact term in this case
We must not forget that in Bohemia  (West part of Czech republic now) lived for many years Bohemian Germans and glassmaking was predominatly in Bohemian-German's hands. Glassmasters were about 50/50 - somewhere more Czechs, somewhere more Germans, but ownership of factories was mostly German. Kralik, for example, even his name is Czech, was our German  .
