I've been really fortunate in the last few weeks to pick up both a lilac coloured and pink Tango vase. The lilac the seller sold as blue and the pink the photos looked white, so I had no idea what I was getting.
When I opened the pink up today I was genuinely shocked and went back to check the listing and there it was written "pink"!!! I'm not complaining. Both are pretty rare in Tango world!! And by way of the market at the moment, both were bargains. I'm really very concerned that the market is very low, it knocks a lot off the value of these and rarer items we might own...good for buying, rotten for selling...
This one is pretty standard with rounded base rather thsn my preferred flat but because it was rare I decided to get it anyway...No markings but has a polished pontil...beautiful weight. I love holding the ruffle ones as they have their weight at the base and light as a feather at top...1920's-30?
Bohemian? Who knows....enjoy..Anne

Loving it, Anne. A nice display.
thanks Ian. But I badly need new storage areas as these are 4-5-6 deep on some shelves. It means a lot of the smaller vases arent seen...I put the talls at the front to stop the stupid cats...lol..
Very impressive collection Anne!
thanks Rick. I appreciate your comments...
I tend to stay away from the ornate Tangos as
1) It's hard to know what you are paying for, they can't all be Loetz
2) My first ever Bohemian purchase was this one

So I wanted to stay true to this and try and get all the colours available, if not as well the shape...there are obviously other shapes and styles in there, a lot you cannot see, they are buried....
The collection is looking good!
thanks Jags
and Inky, did you put me on to this???
