Title: Czech opalescent rose bowl ???
Post by: BRADBURY7308 on April 01, 2010, 06:54:12 PM
These i think are quite notorious to say with any certainty but hey someon may know? Quite a large size i guess 7" wide 6" tall with nice green curled up legs there is a glight iridescence over much of the item. The rim appears to be cased inside white with the outer layer.thanks for taking a peek. :chky:

Theres some Kralik examples on here,

to be honest the quality does look better,
changing my mind to most likely 1930s generic Czech, or maybe an English maker, i think they did similar too!

Value? £20-40 give or take 20  :pb:

Have you looked at the inside of the grill? Sometimes they are marked with
`Made in Czechoslovakia´. Just a pointer of course...

Never really concentrated on any particular maker and only recently discovered Kralik but have had some pieces for years without knowing where they were from.Brettels will have to be easy to get to as I depend on public transport but will try and find their nearest auction room,got most of my stuff from a local shop and the Big Brum Fair.

The piece is definitely Kralik Mother of Pearl with an unusual variation using Tadpoles as feet that I have not seen before.  Nice find.....  Kralik made a wide variety of these pieces in squat form and molded......  

Here are some other examples
