Title: Art Nouveau Austrian Czech Bohemian irridescent vase
Post by: Andy on October 30, 2009, 02:08:49 PM

Just when you dont get a post from Andy, 20 come at once ;D

This little chap, is just 5 1/2 inches tall, (14cm) Dark peacock colours, i think it had a painted silver ring
at the top and bottom.
Ive checked all the Bohemian sites, and cant quite match it, any ideas ??
Cheers

It is always tough to tell from images but here are my thoughts.

It may possibly be a piece of Rindskopf Papillion, as it appears to be quite similar. I am a little bothered by the style of painting on the top and bottom though, as that is not really seen with their glass. Possibly decorated by someone else....

I was also thinking Rindskopf based on the shape. I have not seen this type of finish before for Rindskopf, but it has the look of their work.

the 13" purple Papillion looks a good match, and found this item on ebay,

I think Papilion is a much nicer phrase than oil spot. That sound's like something on the floor of my garage.  :24:
