Topic: Bud vase with three applied handles , Franz Welz perhaps ?

[Baked_Beans]

I thought this might be by Welz . It's 17.5 cm in height. Any chance of a date and maker ? There is quite a bit of age scratching to the base. Thanks for having a look, ta, Mike.

I think there is a strong possibility that it is by Welz......please scroll down to the very last photo of a vase on the right.

Looks ok to me, they did some odd shapes eh ? some of mine,

[Baked_Beans]

Wow ! Thanks Keith , are they limpets attached to your bud vase ?   

Do you think these were made around 1900-20 ,  or could they be later ? Ta, Mike.

and another trophy on a pedestal.

Thanks Ivo, looks like the exact same combination of colours as used with my bud vase ! 

[Baked_Beans]

The pedestal , looks to me to be the same shape as the pedestal on the Novy Bor example but the trophy shape is different. However , given the decor , can I now say that this is a Welz vase for sure or is there still a certain amount of doubt (which without design records there must be, I guess) ?  Also, any idea of date ? I realise it's a difficult question to answer but would it be more likely to have been made during the inter-war period perhaps ?

Craig has been working on 'Welz' for sometime and is probably the best person to ask,

[Baked_Beans]

Thanks Keith ,  I'm still working my way through Craig's superb website !

I do have a lidded trinket bowl/dish  which has the same oxblood red plus white and yellow but also has a few spots of green . One of the green splodges seems to have mica in it as Craig mentioned in his research on Welz. The dish looks c1920's (perhaps 1930's) and I will post some pics. here when I can get a chance. Ta, Mike.

Here are the pics of the lidded bowl. The surface looks smooth but is in fact  wrythen  , it's more noticeable on the base but I couldn't capture it on camera. It's quite a wacky design (as usual !) . To my eyes it looks sort of 1920/30's ish , perhaps.  The pontil mark has been roughly ground and the diameter to the rim of the bowl is 10.5 cm (not including the clear frilly bits  !)   As I said above there is a small element of green and only one green streak has some glittery inclusions which might be mica. I thought this could help in some way for a date....on the other hand it might not !
