Jags has posted one very similar and I notice a similarity (only) in shape and size as well as technique between a Ruckl tango tiger wave urn (at least that is how it was labelled in the Teplice tango exhibition) and this one.
I think there is only so far you can go with the urn shape so am very wary to link them but would be interested in what others think? One of my other orange tiger wave urns has more obvious similarities in terms of visible radiations up from the base...
14.5cm high.
Hi Ian. Love the second of the two. Nice colours. Nothing subtle about that beauty!
"I'm finding this is becoming a Rückl marker, from a colored cased base, an application of a constrasting(sic) colored glass decor which leaves much of the background visible with a heavy glossy clear glass finish."
I am sorry, but if I understand the statement correctly, what is being described here as a "marker" is a common technique in Czech glass production and likely used to some degree by almost every maker. Some used it more than others.
The described technique is "casing", which is done with multiple layers of glass. Classifying casing as a technique to use as a "marker" will inevitably lead to compounded attribution errors.
