Title: Iridescent snake vase ID help, please.
Post by: uphoosier on July 16, 2007, 09:04:02 PM

This vase is 6 1/2" tall and the base is 4" diameter.  I was sure I could match the color with a maker since the yellow-red is so unusual in iridescent glass.  The coiled critter is a snake.  I have had suggestions of Rindskopf and Kralik as likely maker of this vase, but in looking at on-line galleries I haven't a clue.  All opinions are welcome, and thank you for looking.

I'd go with Josef Rindskopf.
have you tried http://www.loetz.com/ ?

Ivo is right, I'm sure.
There is an almost identical vase on page 118 of Robert and Deborah Truitt's book "Collectible Bohemian Glass 1880-1940". The text says that Rindskopf called this glass "Grenada" and this little vase is described as 6" tall and made c 1900.

Thank you both.  Yes, I have looked at the site you linked.  Every time I do , I have to pick myself up from the floor.
