Glasfabrik Elisabeth, Pallme-König & Habel ca. 1900-05.. "Koryntha" decor, it measures 9 1/4" tall x 7 1/2" wide.............. we purchased this beauty as a wedding present to ourselves on July 10 2015 after 22 years together.. when it arrived, I immediately noticed a problem with the mount where the metal ring holding the egg has stress cracks and is about to break away and the egg will not be supported.. I reported this issue to the seller ready to do a return, but offered to keep it for a hefty refund on the purchase price, which, was a little much but we really did not care.. the seller gladly accepted my request, so it worked out great in the end.. the repair will be easy it needs soldering.. very happy with it, such a wonderful piece..
Hi
Glassie
Congrat on your 22 years, that a good ideal, when i will celebrate my 35 with my wife, will see, ;-)
Really nice P.K piece, since it's not the glass broke, that's fine i guess, the mount repairable, that's great.

Congratulations again to you both from both of us !!!!
Korytha decor? Was just wondering about it ?
wonderful!!!! congrats!!! lovely and beautiful!!
Kevin : " Volkmar Schorcht - The good thing with PK is that shapes come with different decors and vice versa as a rule. Production time is around 1900-1905. The decor name of green glass with ruby red veined threads is “Korytha” according to an original paper label survived."
Thanks to everyone for the loves and nice comments
Thanks Gary. I just had a look. I think it's Koryntha ... Related to Corinth in English I suppose.

I also found this article in Glasfreund which is quite good too !
It puts a name to the Koryntha series too ... Wilhelm Habel.
'Twas he who too out the patent on it c. 1900.
