Red marbled vase with enamel, Loetz Marmoriertes Carneol? or Harrach? other?
TxSilver:
Looks more like Loetz to me. It is more red than ones I have had, but still looks like them.

Thank you also Anita :) I have found a few in this red and I am convinced, I was just curious about the enamel. Perhaps a different decorating house or different period from the ones I've seen that all seem to have similar patterns of enamel on a grey/brown background?
JP, thanks again and apologies for my garbled (interrupted by child) message above. What I meant was your comment was interesting regarding the white interior as I'd seen a query somewhere on one that was just clear on the interior, so I wondered if they originally made these without the cased pink and white interior.

Your remark sent me to my files, and I was surprised to find that I did have a vase as red as yours. I attached some pictures of it. It had the pinkish interior and was painted with gold enamel. The ones I had sported either a heavily fired enamel collar or gold enamel. The ones with gold are diverse in the decoration. They all tend to have the "collared" look, as yours does.
I've sometimes wondered if my Loetz vases will end up being Harrachs.

Anita that is glorious :) I was pretty convinced mine is a Loetz piece from what I've found, but slightly confused about the enamelled mark on the bottom to be honest (not that I know much as my 'collection' of Loetz is only just out of the 'mistake' area ;D and my knowledge of them and Harrach is non existent). The only marks I've come across are the ones on the Loetz site and the mark doesn't seem to be similar to Harrach marks as far as I can tell. On the pic I found of page 87 (I presume it is Truitts, I could only find a picture with the page number on - and thanks JP for the info) there is a bowl/vase on there that is similar in shape to yours on the body but slightly different on the neck shape. Likewise there is a vase where the foot and body of the vase are the same as mine but the neck on mine is more similar to another shaped vase bottom left. What is slightly confusing about the written piece accompanying the picture that I also found, is that they say by 1890 the interiors were white or pink and the marbling white bits were uranium on the exterior - mine isn't. I implied from that, that if it had a white interior it would be uranium on the exterior but perhaps either that info isn't correct anymore or I've assumed incorrectly :-\

m, now I am wondering about both your and my vase. Mine is not marked on bottom, but the pattern is so similar. The Harrach project has a "signature" with a P.number a little over halfway down the page at http://glasscollector.net/ProjectHarrach/ProjectHarrachGlassID.html. The P. looks a lot like yours to me, though yours does not have the numbers over and under it. Harrach signatures were variable (or absent). I hope someone can provide more insight.
It will not surprise me if my vase turns out to be Harrach.
