WMF Vaseline & Cranberry Tazza w/ Silver Base.

(1/2) > >>

Pinkspoons:
Just bought this incredibly pretty WMF tazza, because I felt in love with the art nouveau shape and the vaseline/cranberry/crackle mish-mash it's got going on.

Any clues as to date and/or designer? I know nothing much about WMF, is the glass Ikora?

(I'll update with better photos when the item arrives)

Hey Nic,

  Doesn't look anything like WMF Ikora....this looks like a very nice piece of glass from 1880's..

Pinkspoons:
Yeah, I had a looksie around the internet and couldn't find anything which even vaguely matched up with it under the Ikora umbrella.

The seller had a photograph of the maker's mark, and it looks like the WMF 'ostrich' logo - used up until 1914, according to a website I looked at - although to be honest, the photograph is fairly indistinct. But it wasn't too expensive, so I don't mind so much if it's not WMF.

Ivo:
seems the glass has little relation to the mounting...

Pinkspoons:
Oh dear, a marriage is suspected? I'll have to see how snuggly everything fits when it arrives.  :(
