Topic: Cornucopia vase on floral base

[rocco]

Strange cornucopia vase, clear ribbed glass with controlled bubbles, dark red floriform base.
Polished pontil mark, edges of the feet are slightly ground.
Height 12 cm, length 13 cm.

I haven't got the slightest idea if it is contemporary Romanian, or considerably older...
So any help greatly appreciated as usual!

Thanks,
Michael

Old request, didn't really think of the piece anymore until I found this on CW today:
>> http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/106973-loetz-bubbly-glass-with-applied-leaves?in=442

Could it really be Loetz?

As it is stored away it will take some time to dig it up again and check for a mark...

Probably if Alfredo has a marked one.

Thanks, Christine!
You are right -- I am sure Alfredo knows what he is talking about.

I was rather trying to express my surprise to find an ID I really hadn't expected

Once you know what you are looking for: >> Link 1, >> Link 2
two more, both of them seem to have the rectangular mark.

It's much more Kraliky than Loetzy isn't it

Yes, and not very 1930s'ish... (compared to the Loetz Schaumglas pieces with their classical Art Deco shapes)
