Title: Help with satin translucent/iridescent painted vase please?
Post by: Orchestratedmess on August 18, 2023, 06:29:52 PM
About 10” tall, water lilies painted in almost a watercolor or stained glass effect.  The design appears to be the same on two sides, but there are tiny differences. Ground/polished rim is finished in gold. Iridescent.  Shelf wear.  No signature that I could find.  It weighs about 1 lb, the glass is about 1/4” thick.

You could try searching the French companies Montjoye/Legras etc. but it could also be Bohemian.

Thank you for your assistance!  Could you elaborate on the “etc” of possible names of French makers?  Thanks!

To be honest I don't know enough about it, Baccarat and Clichy might be possible, although I'm not sure. There were some other smaller makers, searching Art Nouveau French glass might turn something up.

Sorry!  I didn’t realize the thumbnail didn’t expand to the original size here.  Trying again.

It reminds me of Theresienthal glasses for some reason. 
Like this for example:

It could be worth having a good look through the Jugendstil sections of the site Roemer-aus-Theresienthal here:
http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/jugendstiltrad.html

to see if you can see any items that are clear satin enamelled or a shape match.

It's in German and you need to click the links to have a good navigate around the site to see the items on there.  It's a fantastically brilliant site.

Thank you also nevb! 

Flying - I see definite similarities.  And while looking through the other pages I stumbled on the name Poschinger as one of the designers of the motifs, and so I’m off searching this decorated iridescent art glass.  I love glass. :D :)
