First reported - Inwald vase

(1/2) > >>

Glen:
I've just posted an article about a recently discovered Josef Inwald (Czech) vase.

http://www.geocities.com/carni_glass_uk_2000/Nola.html  Mod: link dead. There is info about Nola on Glen's new website: http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/athina.html


I will show a scan of the item as it appeared in the Inwald catalogue shortly.

EDITED TO ADD: The name Nola was given this pattern by Carnival collectors in the 1990s. We now know that in the Markhbeinn catalogues (of Inwald's glass) this pattern was called Pompei.

Indeed a wow! vase Glen. Thank you for posting the article about it. It's another pattern I've not seen before, but it's one I wouldn't mind having in my collection. ;)   Was it only made in Carnival or is it known in plain glass as well?

Sklounion:
Hi Glen and all,

A very nice pattern of vase.
 
I am amazed that these seem so scarce, given that the iridised finish, looking at Markhbeinn, was @ half the price of the enamel pieces, and so, relatively affordable. It is difficult to argue that iridised finishes were less popular, as Markhbeinn seems to have offered many patterns so finished.

It is suggested from Markhbeinn 1934, that Pompei was available in flint, iridised, blue and yellow enamel finishes, with the toiletry sets also available in ruby enamel.

Regards,
Marcus
