Unidentified Art Deco glassware
« on: March 02, 2011, 02:02:21 PM »
Can anyone help identify a pair of Art Deco style vases; they are approx 15cm high by 5.5cm at the widest point. A large colourful decorated central panel linked by broad black painted/enamel bands, with indentations, around the vase. In addition there is a frieze of delicate flowers in coloured glass linked together daisy chain fashion with gilding that loops around the vases. There is also gilding around the lip of the vases.I have attached a picture which shows the key aspects described here. Both vases are in excellent condition.

JAKJO from sweden told me about a similar vase:
"The "Tango glass"-line (cased basic coloured glass-two colours) was created by Loetz Witwe in 1914. It became immensely popular for over ten years. To name a few of the Austrian, Bohemian and German designers of Tango glass forms and decors; Joseph Hoffmann, Kolo Moser, Edward Prochaska, Marie Kirschner, Michael Powolny, Hanz Bolek and Dagobert Peche.

The known and documented designs are few and because of the popularity they soon were copied, altered and mass-produced by several companies among them Kralik and Rindskopf, making it very difficult to attribute with any certainty to any one of them. Not to mention that Loetz Tango objects were often decorated by other companies for example by the Glasraffinerie und Kronleuchterfabrik - Carl Hosch.

My tip for you is to search serious and wellknown collectors' websites and try to find the form of your vase attributed to a glass works."

   
I hope your vase can be identified.... as far as I was told there is only one book about "tango" and this is supposed to be "holy merde"
