Loetz or Kralik Astglas Lamp shade
« on: May 11, 2012, 11:48:19 AM »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can identify the creator of this lamp shade for me. The pattern and texture seems very similar to pieces of Loetz and Kralik that have passed through my hands over the past decade and wondered if anyone had encountered anything similar please. Thanks.
Bryn

Can we have a close up of the texture please Bryn? Is it just crackle or is it crackle with frit?

Yes of course John. Hope this helps.
Firstly, there are small bits of frit in a number of places. The exterior pattern is raised and feels rough to the touch whilst the interior is smooth. Check out this photo, if you want's real close ups just ask. Thanks  ;D
