Title: Czech vase I/D ?
Post by: malcmat on July 25, 2013, 05:31:42 PM

Hi, I am trying to I/D this vase which I presume is Czech in origin ? 14cm tall and 7cm base dia. green in colour with a wavey rim. It has a spiral line decoration up the body and a polished out pontil mark. I have had a look on some web sites but not found the pattern etc.

Many thanks
Malcolm

Quite possibly Kralik, Ribbed Twisted: http://www.kralik-glass.com/kralikribbedtwistedarray.html

Thanks for the possible I/d John i had a real good look for the shape match on the web but to no avail, i was wondering if someone knows approximately when it was manufactured.

Much appreciated
Malcolm

It is 'Nouveau' in terms of style so I would guess 1900 - 1905 give or take a few years.  Not finding this particular shape is no big deal given the sheer variety of Kralik production in both decor and shape. The internet is still young and the information freely available is far from comprehensive.
