Hi all,i've walked past this piece several times in one of my haunts because i think it's a factory second, on the base there seems to be a foreign body of some sort and a small chip just above it with another close to it.Something must be rubbing off from here because i felt it might be loetz and on looking it up i feel it is close to their papillon pieces,it's 4" high and don't worry about letting me down easy it was under a tenner,maybe the right price with the damage.
-
Ok,maybe not Loetz then ???i thought i'd just add that light from behind kills the blue and in more shade the bluer it gets,so it's difficult to get a decent photo,but here's another anyway and you have to imagine the mottled blue all over lessening a bit as it moves up the neck.

Have you checked Craig's site, Kralik glass.com, does look a bit like Papillon creta range, ;D
-
Yes thanks keith,i searched the forum and found the link,you did mean Loetz.com?I am sure it's one of their crete papillon pieces :),shame about the flaws,but it's a lovely thing especially how it changes depending on the light.Hope no one made Loetz copies ::)
-
Ah sorry, ::)you did mean kralik,i found the creta range on Loetz.com,i'm going to check out Craig's site now looks excellent.
-
Hope you find it. ;D.

This shape is not on any of the Papillon pages that I could find, but I would say it is definitely a Creta Papillon example....
Pretty piece.

Thanks,that makes me even more certain :)
