Thanks for the term īlifelightī and the link, Christine! :-* Hadnīt heard of that before.

And now itīs getting interesting, Glaskillian.... :D
I recently purchased a pair of vases like yours - same mould-blown shape, but with a
decoration in pink and aventurine, which is a colour combination found on Welz pieces:

So Iīd say your striped vase is possibly rather a Welz than a Harrach.
Unfortunately mine havenīt arrived yet , because the auction house mixed up some parcels,
but Iīll post some pictures as soon as possible.

Kristi - thanks for adding the photo of the display at Passau museum. That is the first visual evidence I have seen (I don't have many books covering Bohemian wares) for a number of Harrach items using pinchwork for body decor and foot.

At least the thumbnail from the auction is still visible:

Hiya@Minneapolis! :D
krsilber:
Kevin - I'm just happy I am able to provide Passau photos! I took hundreds. What an amazing collection. Here's another few examples.
Hi Dirk! I was in Germany in October, and whever I saw an organ I thought of you. Wish I'd had more time, we could have met. How far are you from Braunschweig? My best friend lives there. Too late now, I guess, but I'll make it back some day! BTW, I love your Groucho Marx quote.
Was bedeutet "nachverkauf"? There's a piece on that auction site that catches my eye.
I don't know about Welz. Seems rather "plain" for them. Not that plain is a bad thing, it's a lovely vase, but Welz seems to add a touch of something to their pieces that sets them apart. I love Welz. Beautiful pieces you have! And you'd obviously know more about them, so who am I to say?
Otis Orlando:
Wow! I have never heard of Passau Museum. Thanks for posting the pictures Kristi, I have saved the Passau Museum Site to my favourites for future reference and since your post have been able to gather more interesting information. I now know why Christine stated that rare is a bit rich. I think I too need to invest in some Bohemian glassware books. ;D I've had this vase for about five years now and never really took much interest in it. It was only whilst searching for a Mary Gregory vase amongst my collection that I spotted this vase and my first thoughts were just to try it under U.V light. Once I knew it was uranium glass I thought it would be a good idea to post it. Having limited amount of knowledge on Uranium glass, I was introduced to this site, which I think is of interesting reading:
