I am posting these together as they are similar in a number of ways. Aventurine, spots of colour, blue enamel, faint traces of gilded curliques, petals and foliage. My heart says Welz or Ruckl, my mind says Anonyme Produktion! Let me know! 26.5 and 27.5cm tall.
The decors and shapes are great. Never seen either of them before.
They seem a bit big for what I know of larger Welz shapes. They seem to fit in with a series of large columnar hyacinth vases I have posted in blue and white, yellow and white. That's why I said my favourite maker, old Anonyme.
I have about a dozen varying pieces of Welz from different periods which are in the 9 - 14 inch range, with about half of those in the 10 - 11 inch range. So size alone would not preclude them from being Welz at all. Very interesting examples. "Old Anonyme" for now, but extremely interesting none the less. I love new décors and shapes..... even if the maker is not known at the moment.
Lovely Ian, you have a great knack of finding beautiful pieces...did they fall off the back of a ship down there?
Thanks, Anne. My email is joscyn@hotmail.com.
In one of the two Truitt books there is an interesting chart of export figures for Czech glass around the world by region and period. It makes interesting reading and just shows there is a lot out there to find, mainly undocumented, unattributed, relatively mass produced.
