Title: Art nouveou Bowl with metal stand. Kralik or Lötz. [or Rindskopf? (Pipita)]
Post by: BlueOctopus on October 03, 2020, 10:17:25 PM: recently I bought this nice Art Nouveou Bowl with metal stand. The glas has a very nice oil spot red going into pale blue with knobs

I hoped and thought Lötz, but in the Lötz book I could not find any color fitting to mine. Lötz glass seem to be much delighter finer and the surfacce smoother.
Than I thought Kralik, but I couldn´t find any red what was near to mine. But i found a Kralik Vase with a very similar Metal foot
here the link:

the metal stand has a signation, but I could not read it. unfortunately it is hard to take fotos, I´ll try tommorow in daylight.
do you have an idea which company it might be?

I looked around for Pipita Rindskopf and everything fits. the red, the knobs and the pontil mark.

I have to tell the story how i got the bowl.
I found a 1 € advertise in a online marketplace, because the metal stand was broken. the lady did not want to send it per post she said it isn´t the shipping worth. It was 600km away, so picking up was impossible. So I praid and asked please do it, I will give you more. At 30€ she agreed to ship.
The metal stand was absolutely bend and broken, the feet looked more like turtle feets.

I brought it for restauration to a metal specialist and spend another 150€ for restauration and now I´m very proud to have such a beautiful bowl. As I now know from Rindskopf
thank you Greg

There is some information on the decor being called 'Pepita' in the above link written by Craig, ( poster known as Obscurities on our site) . So I'm not sure if it's definitely known that this can be identified as Rindskopf or Kralik at the moment? It might need to be decided based on a shape match therefore.
