Speckled vase - is it Bohemian?
« on: August 26, 2010, 07:16:16 AM »
This smallish vase I assume is c. 100 years old and probably from Bohemia some where.  Can anyone narrow down who might have made it?  I also assume that at some stage it would have had a metal frog.

I would make that around 80 years old, from anywhere in Bohemia but probably the north, and yes it would have had a metal grill.  They're often attributed to Kralik in the 1930s but not everybody agrees.

That's nice to know, Ivo - I have a pair of these, with their grills.
I like them very much indeed.  :)
