Topic: Czech opalescent rose bowl ???

[BRADBURY7308]

These i think are quite notorious to say with any certainty but hey someon may know? Quite a large size i guess 7" wide 6" tall with nice green curled up legs there is a glight iridescence over much of the item. The rim appears to be cased inside white with the outer layer.thanks for taking a peek. :chky:

Theres some Kralik examples on here,

to be honest the quality does look better,
changing my mind to most likely 1930s generic Czech, or maybe an English maker, i think they did similar too!
 :pb:
Value? £20-40 give or take 20  :pb:

Some of my Kralik pieces,wish I could find stuff those prices! where in N.Wales?

[dirk.]

Have you looked at the inside of the grill? Sometimes they are marked with
`Made in Czechoslovakia´. Just a pointer of course...

Thanks keith you have some great glass are you concerntrating on kralik? Im up on the shropshire/north-wales border just as a matter of interest i see your from the wst midlands i was working in newport the other day and just happend too pop in to there local auction called brettels they seemed to have some decent stuff coming in i think its a weekly sale viewing sat/monday and sale wednesday i think.

Sadly dirk the grill is not marked thanks i hadnt checked either..

[keith]

Never really concentrated on any particular maker and only recently discovered Kralik but have had some pieces for years without knowing where they were from.Brettels will have to be easy to get to as I depend on public transport but will try and find their nearest auction room,got most of my stuff from a local shop and the Big Brum Fair.

The piece is definitely Kralik Mother of Pearl with an unusual variation using Tadpoles as feet that I have not seen before.  Nice find.....  Kralik made a wide variety of these pieces in squat form and molded......  

Here are some other examples
