Topic: Silver iridescent pinched glass vase help please.

[brucebanner]

Can anyone help me with this please, i think this a piece of 1910 ish Bohemian glass, i thought it would be easy to identify.

There is wear to the base and a polished pontil, also wear to the interior base from use, it looks to have a thin coat of iridescent silver that has worn off the base rim.

It's 5 inches in height and 4 3/4 inches across the rim.

Thought at first it was Kralik 'martele' pattern but not sure, will go and have a look on 'Kralik glas.com'  Had a quick look and now I think not, maybe Loetz ?

Had a good look at the Kralik site, i'm getting better at sourcing these bits of glass makers etc but still it's very tricky to pin a lot of stuff down to even a date let alone maker, thanks Kieth.

May be wrong but I think Loetz possibly as well. The finish on the pontil mark, as well as the consistency and neatness/tightness of the pattern.  It's very beautiful.
It reminded me of this one

I would search to match a Loetz shape first.
