Hi ,I was expecting a broken pontil on this vase , or a flattish base with no distinct pontil mark in the bohemian style,so I was surprised to see a small unpolished fairly central polished pontil with a surprising amount of wear.Any thoughts on this one many thanks.

It reminds me of WMF Myra. I can take a look at the book later and see if the shape is there.
I'm not entirely certain but I think it could be. My uncertainty is the colour and the thickness of the glass but having never seen one for real, I suppose I can't really tell.
I will look through the book later.

I see what you mean m,thanks .I’ll look harder in that direction , for some reason they didn’t come to mind .The wear is extreme, like you would see on 1870 type pieces and it’s fairly shiney in some light.I should add there’s some tooling marks and the rim is bumpy .

Not Myra with that technique and that pontil. Pontil rather suggests Chinese or Polish. Curious piece, crackle suggests Leerdam, iridescence suggests Kralik or Doyen. Could be anything.

Yup odd one , it’s well made and a nice weight, the wear looks kosher so I would love it to be a Qing piece but the base seems wrong from the ones I’ve come across .They we’re making iridescent glass in Poland around 1860 and I think in Hungary ?,but I haven’t seen examples .

Possibly related to these by Koscherak Brothers?
