Topic: Surface decorated crackle type glass not Monart poss Loetz Kralik

It’ll be interesting.Im as interested to know who people think it might be if it’s decided it’s not Monart.
Must be someone half decent working with glass
It was purchased from a dealer who thought it was murano from the 60s bought from a house clearance.
We will await the Monart people or more of them should we say.

The really big question would be; if not Monart, then who else could it possibly have been? 
Popcorn while we wait?

That too.I still have a vasart feeling.

I don't, but then I do try to avoid feeling like Vasart.

Hi,
I have a vase in the colour scheme mentioned and I think it is different to the vase in this thread.
Also, the way Monart or even Vasart was made, there would always be some sort of scar on the base where the punty rod had been knocked off, I have never seen any Ysart glass with a base like the one in this thread! So my moneys on not Monart, but other than that....no idea!

It will end up with all the experts not knowing what’s it is but knowing what it is not.
Just one of the joys of the antiques game still it was cheaper than a good bottle of red and as interesting so nothing lost and a nice item to join the box of unknowns.

Out of curiosity how heavy is the vase?

Could you possibly add a close up picture of the wear to the base when you have a spare moment.

Thanks.

Hi Greg.
It’s weight is about right but I will weight it for you.
I will add a close up of the base from different angles tomorrow,There is a wear ring to the edge from surface contact but that can be produced on a wheel in a min but it looks right and genuine.
I will add some close ups of other areas too  and one with the 42b colour next to it and hopefully we can narrow it down.
I researched it for a week before bidding and found nothing.
