I just got back from the Hoosier show in Indianapolis and picked up this beauty! I showed it to several dealers and most agreed it was Bohemian, and a couple suggested it might be Pallme-Koenig (Konig). It stands 9" tall. The foot is 4 1/8". Top diameter (maximum, from lobe to lobe) is 5 1/2 inches. The purple 'drizzle' effect on the outside can be felt, but does not seem to be deeply impressed like some of the Pallme-Koenig I see on the internet. The internal amethyst and external amethyst are a match on color. the inside amethyst has a metallic spray over the top of the color, as does the creamy/custard/opaline outer surface. The outer drizzled effect on the amethyst shimmers, but just barely, and appears to have been put on after the other metallic salts were added. When i reflect the outer surface with a lamp bulb, the off-white surface reflects light, but the amethyst drizzle does not. There is honest wear on the bottom rim. The pontil is ground smooth, but not in a perfect circle, and is a flat color, not irridized or highly polished. no signature or country or origin listed. The foot also glows under a blacklight, but when I took the picture, I shined the light down into the bowl of the vase, so it does not show up in the photo.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would agree that it is likely Bohemian, but I would not look to Pallme Koenig as the house that made it....
Any possibility of getting bigger pics and a good shot of the underside? Would love to see better surface detail.....
