Title: Loetz, Kralik maybe?
Post by: glasseyed on May 10, 2009, 02:17:44 PM

Hi All

Another vase I have had for years but still have not identified. Any help appreciated.

Hazel,

My take on it would be that it is a piece of Martelé by Kralik. Loetz, Kralik and Rindskopf all did Martelé pieces, but the shape strikes me as a Kralik form as opposed to the others. The hard geometric waist on the vase strikes me as Kralik as I have had similar shapes by Kralik in other decors.

That's my 2 cents worth

Lovely Hazel


Craig, can i ask you to look at this http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,16539.0.html

I've found it ID'd as Loetz, but not by someone I'd trust

Thanks all,

It's funny I didn't think I had any Kralik - now all of a sudden I've got two pieces  :thup:

Happy days.

I agree with Mike

Alfredo thought it could be Loetz or Kralik Martele, but I would lean heavily towards Kralik based solely on the form. I could not find an example of a Loetz piece that had such a hard and geometrically pronounced waist. Generally they are softer if Loetz. Kralik used such a waist in many pieces, including forms utilizing multiple waists like that in a single piece.

My guess is.... If you have a lot of nice Czech glass, you most likely have more Kralik than the two we have identified....
The variety of their output is actually pretty amazing....

I don't think I have many more pieces but there is one in particular - trouble is I've got to find it first :o

Boxes may have to be searched :angel:
