Two Pieces Maybe Welz? Trophy Vase
« on: January 19, 2014, 09:29:40 PM »
Hi,
I picked up 9 pieces of art glass at a sale and trying to figure them out. Would these two pieces be Welz? The trophy is 4 3/4" in height, the handles glow green with a backlight, has some sort of black mark in the glass.
I love the colours on the other piece - not sure if this would be considered a vase or not, maybe would have had a metal piece on the top?  It is 2 1/2" in height x 3 3/4" across the top.
Any information is great!

Pink and green colours like that always make me think of Welz, they used them quite a bit.

Hello,

The first example in Variegated yellow with green handles is a piece I would say is theirs for sure. Here is an image of a a distinct shape by Welz done in the same decor and handle color. This piece is not mine, and the image is used with the board members permission. This is not a commonly seen color combination. I have seen it a couple of other times, and always on the geometric trophy. That particular geometric trophy shape was shown in the Welz cases in the 2012 Tango Exhibition in a pink Variegated with clear handles.

The second image I am attaching is of a group of similar pieces to the yellow example you have. In the case of these 4 pieces, although the bowls are different than yours, they all appear to have the same foot/stem as your example.

I am confident stating the yellow example is Welz productin.

The second piece is a decor used by Welz often, but it is not a shape I have seen before. Certainly does not rule them out though. I would say more likely than not that it is Welz production.

Hope this helps.
