Is this asymmetrical small vase by Gangkofner?

Thank you!  :) To be honest, they weren´t love at first sight. One of my favourite traps: Buy a piece
for resale. Once you own it, a second one will come along soon. You start to like them a bit. Third
piece - done, you´ve started another collection!  :thud:
Meanwhile I´ve grown quite fond of them. They are so very 50´s and yet so special IMHO.

Hi Dirk,
I have to admit that this is my first Gangkofner vase from this range (not a confirmed one, unfortunately). Had only seen pictures of them so far, and quite liked them -- but I like almost everything whith a "modern look for its time" :)
My only other piece by Gangkofner is one of those big jug-like vases in purple, which is also very fifties (and quite pretty).
But not so bad a collection for someone like me who has heard of Aloys F. Gangkofner for the first time only a few months ago :)

Greetings

Hi Michael,

very interesting vase, looks indeed very "Gangkofnerlikely" but I regret I have never seen this shape before.
 The colour looks very much like Hessenglas-champagne too, but the shape is definately not documented in the Hessenglas-context so far. I´ll show the pictures to former glasworkers, maybe somebody recognizes it. Every now and then a new Hessenglas-Gangkofner-shape appears which was not documented so far.

But for shure there were also other companies producing in Gangkofner-style. I bought one asymetrical perfume bottle
in this typical Gangkofner-style, which I found some time later again with an "austrian" label on it, which I have not identified yet.
Your vase may very well be from austria too. I´ll search for the label-picture..

@ Dirk: very nice collection, especially the "neurot´ische schwangere Jungfrau" makes me jeallous..  :o

Thanks for your reply, Oliver! I´m curious, what they´ll say about this design.  :)

I think I saw an ebay listing from Austria, too. Perhaps they were a wholesaler?

rocco:
Thank you very much, Oliver!
As I bought this vase in Vienna, an Austrian origin is surely possible! It may well be that some Austrian company produced items in the style of Gangkofner.
But I have seen quite a few labeled Hessen Glas pieces here in the last months, so at least they seem to have been widely imported here...
