HELLO
This vase was donated to the IOW Hospice UK. It has several rim nibbles so we will probably not be able to sell it. We are very interested in learning more about the glass we are given and keep some pieces as a reference library. We have Andy McConnell's book but not any use in this instance. It has a matt, very smooth, silky finish on the exterior but the inside feels rather ridged. The base is hollow, a continuation of the interior and is slightly dished in the centre. The black seems to be applied to the outside as it is not visible inside.
Size: 20.5 cms. tall, 12.5 cms. across mouth, 11cms. across the base
Have added a base pic as requested, thanks for your interest.

Hi there:
As a guess, looks Czech (Bohemian??) to me (Tango Glass ???) -- but someone with some more info will know. Anything on the bottom? Or have a bottom pic?
Thanks ;)
-
Certainly Bohemian, my guess would be Rückl. Not tango as I think that's usually defined as two contrasting colours. I'm sure others will be able to add more...

Thankyou

Even with rim nibbles I would say it has some worth to a charity as long as they are not big chunks missing
Scroll down here for more examples (they're alphabetical)

Thankyou so much, that is exactly what it is, the satinised surface is very striking. Would you think it might be worth putting on ebay as long as very accurately desscribed and good photos? I could post pictures of the nobbles here.
-
Yes. Show us the nibbles anyway. More likely to sell on ebay than in a charity shop
-
Thanks
Will begin a new post as not enough room for pics here
-
There are 3 nibbles, the largest is 6mm top of rim down.

Anne you are like a mother hen , you look after all your chicks with great love and affection, what would we do without you? I would just like to say thank you from all who you have guided and helped . you are my FAVOURITE but dont tell OH or Brucie . :kissy: :bf: ;) jp

Looks saleable to me as long as it is properly described (with photos), someone will be interested at a reduced price. I have no idea what that might be though.

Hello, The possibilities for this, as a house that produced it would include Rückle, as Steven said. Similar pieces were also produced by Kralik and Welz. Although this is not an example, one should also be aware that there is similar glass to this currently being produced in the Czech Republic..... although I do not believe current production is being done in a satin finish.....at least I have not seen a modern example in that finish.
The shape of the foot on this one, particularly the reverse angle of the bottom edge, which I refer to as a reverse bevel, would lead me toward Welz or Kralik as the production house..... Welz used the reverse bevel foot on far more pieces than Kralik did.
The only real positive affirmation of an attribution would likely come from finding a piece in a unique decor by one of these companies in the same shape.....
It is a nice piece, and definitely worth selling..... someone will want it....
Craig
edit in: I have added an image of a pair of labeled Welz examples in a similar decor that is not a satin finish...
-
I'd say Kralik as well, these have a slightly rough rim anyway, still worth around £15 in that state.
-
Thankyou all so much! I will pursue some of your suggestions and see what I can find. Will definitely give it a go on ebay.
-
Can you let me know the ebay item number please :thup:
if that is not breaking the site rules, moderators :X:
-
Jeanne, to avoid posting links to live sales in Glass, which would get moved out, you should post a link to your sale into our Glass Market Place. That will give anyone here the chance to view and bid should they want to and hopefully will do well for you. :thup:
-
I will do that. I am not sure quite when it will be. Our ebay sellers name is 'emhretail' (Earl Mountbatten Hospice). We do often have pieces od IOW glass donated and we usually sell those on ebay so I will link those in future. Thanks for all your help. I will post a link to this thread when I put it on too.
