Title: Tango vase with unusual features
Post by: dirk. on April 14, 2013, 05:20:48 PM
Hi

couldnīt resist this lovely vase today...
The inner is made of orange glass with a thick clear glass casing. The contrasting black consists
of a very fine threading, which is also decorated with a cut pattern.
Anyone dare a guess about a maker?

Itīs ca. 22cm tall.

TIA
Dirk

I can't vouch for the attribution but I found this one :)

Although I believe the Etsy attribution to be correct, I am not sure this one is by Kralik also.....  whoever did it, it is a really nice piece of Art Deco Modernism....

Kosta Boda springs to mind.   I had a search on google and unable to find anything with this sort of design.   I must say, it ia a very nice piece indeed.    :)

Thanks all for your comments - much appreciated!  :)
I took the day to think about it. Perhaps itīs the thick clear casing, even thicker than needed for
the cut pattern, which makes me tend to agree with you, Craig.
Hence I tried a few bavarian glassworks... This Jean Beck looks vaguely related:

Exciting... Did some more googling into that direction and found related pieces attributed to
Poschinger (http://www.auctions-fischer.de/kataloge/online-kataloge/199.html?kategorie=67&artikel=16550&L=&cHash=0db65677fb)  :D  :D  :D
Bit earlier than I would have thought.  :o

And Jean Beck designed for Poschinger I believe.
That's a great find Dirk! 
Can you work magic on the net vases now  ;D

Well I never! :o   I spent a good few hours going through various sites, google included.  That's another glass vase to look out for and now in my favourites.   Excellent find! :)

Beck seems quite plausible, although I would question a date that early for the work.....  just a gut feeling....

I also do not remember ever having seen similar work attributed to Poschinger. Not saying it isn't, just does not seem quite right to me. I have seen quite a few attributions to Loetz by that auction house that were not correct, so as with almost every auction house, I question attributions unless I know different.

Pressglas-Korrespondenz published the 1925 Poschinger catalogue some years ago. Although it doesnīt
show the shape of this vase it shows pieces with the identical technique and cut pattern, so I donīt doubt
the attribution anymore.
So - Poschinger for sure, but possibly a bit later. When I come to think about it I wouldnīt be surprised if
they had already been made some years earlier also. German Art Nouveau can be a bit less floral and more
geometrical, especially where influenced by the Darmstadt school.
Craig, Iīm sure youīve seen at least vaguely similar pieces, e.g. from
Georg Carl v. Reichenbach (http://www.google.de/search?q=georg+reichenbach&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45368065,d.Yms&biw=1366&bih=666&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=O8huUcK8MJH6sgaPvYDICw#um=1&hl=de&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=georg+carl+reichenbach+vase&oq=georg+carl+reichenbach+vase&gs_l=img.3...5883.6648.2.8005.5.5.0.0.0.0.145.311.3j2.5.0...0.0...1c.1.9.img.w5EJq_B2w_I&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45368065,d.Yms&fp=1c585c102823077e&biw=1366&bih=666)
or those pieces with irregular green threading and blue blobs.

Great info....  I will look at the catalog.....

Loetz also made a threaded decor with applied "prunts". Less geometric, but similar to pieces shown in the Reichenbach link.
