Topic: Painted glass ;-)

[rocco]

Thanks all for your help, very much appreciated!

@Misha: there is a paper glued to the back of the frame, and I am not keen on removing that; even if there is a date, it would probably not give a clue -- the painting could be contemporary to the glass pictured, or someone painted grandma's vases in the many decades later
@m: looks like a similar colour and decor, well spotted. The lines on "my piece" seem to be more regular, though.
@waltl2: I think the Bohemia attribution is quite solid, but I will look into French Art Nouveau glass, too...

@m: here is another similar piece, attributed to Pallme König: >> Link

I don't know if that decor has been id'd formally  - In the book it's unidentified.
I do wonder if there were two 'versions'; by different makers.  The vases I linked to do not look as nicely done as the biscuit jar thing you linked to, in terms of how they are executed, don't you think?
I'm just wondering if this is one of those where one version was Pallme Koenig and then.. there might be the Kralik version?  In the way that some of the Loetz designs seem to have similar Kralik versions.

Yes, the threads appear more regular on the painted piece, so maybe several of the mentioned makers produced similar patterns...
I am happy with the "Bohemian" Art Nouveau attribution
