This is my second example of the Welz décor 'Zig Zag Lines'. It's a known Welz shape and a known Welz decor so I'm hopeful I've got this one right!
The last picture shows it with two other hexagonal Welz vases of the same size. These are my new favourites as they take up little space!
Height 11.5 cm./4.5 inches Diameter 6.5 cm./2.5 inches
Zig Zag Lines in this color combination is one of my favorite Welz décors. The family of shapes this form is from is also one of my favorites, as there are several quite distinctive variations. They are also generally found in quite distinctive Welz décors.
Your shape in the Welz production documentation is #7257 and is specified as 11cm in height. The production document is dated 1928.
Great find!! Love it!!
Thanks, welzebub, for the added information. Your documentation must be quite something!
There is not a ton of it at this point, but it is the first documentation ever found by the company that I am aware of. There may not be a ton, but what I have is classic Welz.... shapes and décors which for the most part, I had identified prior to ever seeing the documentation. I actually have this shape in the decor shown in the literature!! I will post it for you....
Thanks......I look forward to it.
This vase really grabs me Sklo! The colours, the shape, the interior - all special.

I uploaded a cousin of these Welz vases last year. I'm using my cell phone so I can't link it here tonight but it would be of the same type. R.E.R(Bob)
