Topic: Rindskopf? Kralik? peacock tail iridescent pulls, gold on green anyone confirm?

[flying free]

It was one of 'those' - it arrived looking far more gorgeous than I'd even hoped  It really does look like the photo colours wise.

The interior is a lovely bright apple green opaline, cased I think in green glass and then gold iridescence over the top, really lovely quality. (the circle that can be seen on the side in the first photo is a bubble under the surface rather than damage)

The peacock pulls are jade green and blue iridescent with some orange/brown ish colour surround.

The grill is a two part with the surround clipped neatly together and the grill part clipping into the surround.

It's quite substantial in weight, and thickness of glass and measures 5 1/2" widest by 4 1/4" high

I thought it might be attributed to Kralik given the shape.

However, I found this link which mentions Rindskopf and I think they are a similar 'ish' decor (the grill is also the same but I think that is a coincidence).

Could anyone confirm which it might be please?
thanks

Sorry m but I am in a rush and no time to look, the base colour reminds me of the two on the right, both were also substantial (and very tactile). I would think Kralik too.

Hi John
Thanks for looking.
The base colour isn't the same as your two but that's what it reminded me of when I saw it and bought it thinking Kralik.

Having received it I had second thoughts and it occurred to me it might be Rindskopf.  And having looked at the Rindskopf pulled feather pieces on Kralik-glass.com, it definitely has most in common with those I think.
I'll do a bit more searching, and thanks
The internal layer is opaline green and it's cased in green I(pretty sure it's green not clear), with gold iridescence.

Well... The base colour looks the same to me and so does the construction - a thin layer of opaque white, thick layer of clear and the 'avocado' green on top. Can just about see this in the following photo of a third item (I had forgotten about). Although I have assumed Kralik for my three I would be open to counter arguments - never say never!

Back to your vase, looks like the same decor as three of the vases in this Rindskopf Pulled Feather array, positions 3, 4 and 7: http://www.kralik-glass.com/rpulledfeatherarray.html

These three do look different to all the others in my opinion, again I would be open to arguments along the lines that they don't quite belong with the rest of that group. Not that I would know where they might 'belong'...

Hi  yes I'd looked through those and the design of the iridescent trails looks most like the red one no 7 (left hand side 2nd row down and indeed the bright yellow one which is a bit of an outlier because the surface isn't iridescent)
The 'quality' or 'finish' looked to me, most similar to this one (see link to blue vase below) - and that is what swayed me to ask really.  The quality of the gold layer iridescence is different to a Kralik mother of pearl I have with a fluted rim - I'll find a pic in a mo.  The Mop Kralik cream fluted is also beautiful quality with a firepolished rim, thick etc, but the gold finish iridescence is different to this green one.

this is one of the blue ones (I linked to above) for sale where you can see the same coloured interior and then cased exterior

Oh and yes it is a thick apple green inner layer cased in clear not green btw.  I can see it now because the iridescent peacock pulls do not start right in the middle of the base, or cover the base.  So in the middle if you hold it angled under lighting you can see through the outer layer to the inner green.  You can't tell just be looking at it, it needs to be angled under light.

I've now attached a pic of the green with the cream fluted.  They are both good quality but the iridescence on the green is better I think.

vaguely wondering if my green flower vase is in fact perhaps from Schliersee.

The Shape appears to be right especially at the shoulders, and the iridescence is particularly good (no picture without the top but will try and find one)
The interior colour glass is green btw with a very thick casing of clear glass over the top it seems,with the dark and light streaky coloured pulls done on top of the clear outer casing.  The iridescence is gold I think.

Just adding this for interest - different colourway.
Was sold as Rindskopf
