Great find Mike. The scroll work is the same.  Thanks so much!

Rick
Could you please state which item it is from the Bohemian Glass link that has the "same scroll work".

Not a good idea if you still have any hope of buying it from him. You'd have been better keeping him in the dark. After all, it's up to him to do the research if he's selling.
Just as it is yours to do, to know where you stand as potential buyer. "buyer beware" and all that.

Kev, you need to scroll down the link a fair bit - to a purple iridescent vase with metal work on it. I wouldn't say it's exactly the same, but very, very similar. I would imagine the actual design of the scrolls would change to fit the piece.

(But I do avoid all glass with bits of metal stuck to it. It can affect price in a way that I'm not prepared to accommodate. I'm not remotely interested in "precious" metals or designer-market-inflated price gemstones.)

No Sue, I decided against buying it.  There were other vases I was watching, and ended up getting a Charles Lotton at auction yesterday.  Since the seller and I had become somewhat friendly, I figured I'd help him identify it for sure.  Either way, he was pretty certain it was Kralik, but now he has confirmation.

Thanks
Rick

That's grand, then. I was merely concerned for you that you may have lost your "edge". In your situation, particularly having become friendly, I'd have done exactly the same.

Any chance of a piccie of your Lotton?

Of course Sue.  I'll post a picture as soon as it arrives.  Where do I post it though?  Do I attach it to this post??

I think a Charles Lotton piece would merit a "show and tell" thread, all of its own. 8) 8) 8)

Just start the thread the way you did this one, and give it the title "Charles Lotton, for show" or something like that.
His (illustrious) name needs to be in the title. :)
