Is this a Kralik ?
« on: May 28, 2011, 04:37:09 PM »
I suppose this vase could have been made by Kralik. Can anybody confirm or contradict ?
Am i right with the idea that it has been done round 1920 ?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Have a look on the base and look for a tiny J & Z interlinked as it looks like it might be Jan Zeeman.

Have checked the base again, there is no mark visable, so very unlikely Jan Seemann, i conclude.

Is the rim ground and polished?

Also, some pics in natural light may help, as the colors, at least in these pics do not look quite right for a Kralik piece....

Thanks Craig !
Here comes more pictures that might help.
The colour is more into green, the pictures are little too yellow.

Although it bears a resemblance to a Kralik decor, I do not believe this is a Kralik piece. The piece does not seem quite right. Although I think it is older than the piece in the link, I am not sure who it is....  I would likely lean towards a more contemporary piece, even though the bottom appears to show some wear....

The Kralik pieces have a much more iridescent surface treatment, and the primary color of the body, combined with the color of
the blue are not quite right. Additionally, I could not find any examples of the decor with a line pattern such as this.....

I have attached a couple of variations of the Kralik decor for comparison.....

Craig,
thanks a lot !
As i never owned a Kralik piece, i do not know how it looks like. How do the top rim look like and have Kralik pieses a polished pontil ? Probably you could send pictures of top rim and bottom of the first vase, this blue-yellow one ?! 
These chinese ones look diferent i think, somehow more new.
