Hello everyone

A friend has asked me whether I could find some information about the origin of this iridescent vase with a very interesting shape (a Terry's chocolate shaped base with a short waist and long undulated neck). My limited research seems to indicate this is of Bohemian origin. It is unsigned. Has been in my friend's possession for over 30 years and was given to him by a relative. If anyone could provide me with any more details, I would be ever so grateful.

Many thanks
Carlo

Carlo,
The colours look like Pallme Konig to me but I'm sure someone more knowledgable will soon reply. Have a look on Loetz.com .

There's a guy there who is pretty good with this kind of glass.
