My favourite type of décor by far. These range from 15.5 to 25.5cm and are L-R:
Unidentified x 2, Kralik x 4 (but correct me if wrong!).
That said, I am always mindful of Kevin's caveat that glass from 1900-1930 was hard to differentiate if Kralik / Tomschik (and who knows what other manufacturers?).
The first 4 have moulded bottoms and roughly ground (not smoothed) rims, whilst the last 2 have cleanly snapped pontil marks and fire-worked rims in keeping with the manufacture of Kralik harlequin, for example, and in similar shapes.
The colours in the bases should be readily apparent.
Great grouping once again.
The only solid comment I can make here is that the 4th vase over was shown in the Tomschik case in the Tango exhibition. I am of the belief that was incorrect, as the vase is very commonly found in the US with an arched open O Kralik mark..... Other than that, I think you may be accumulating the largest and most colorful unidentifiable collection on CW.... Good work!! :-)
Haha! Thanks for the comment - much appreciated. There is a bit of detective in all of us and maybe this is my chosen specialist subject. Maybe it will become clearer with time. Then again, maybe not!
Love the shapes of the middle three
Thanks, Jags, the more beehive-y one has light mould marks on the sides, if this is the one you mean. It has nice pinks in the base as well.
wonderful Ian I have only one and keeping with my color taste is blue. I will try to post it next weekend.
Cool splatters !! I don't see these too often at all .. I only have the one & its yellow & white with little blue flowers but I love all of them :-) especially the orange & reds ...
