This vase just arrived from the Netherlands. It is purported to be Kralik, but I haven't been able to find anything even remotely close. It has a spectacular iridescence and a nicely textured surface from crushed glass. It measures 6" h x 5"w, and has a fire polished rim and ground and polished pontil. Does anyone have an idea who the maker could be?
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

looks like loetz to me , but im sure im wrong ... over all it is a true stunner!!! love the colors and design :)
Sweet !!!!
Thanks for the love and comments Sean and Eye4.
@ Sean... I had checked Deb's site to see if I could find a Loetz match, but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
Your very welcome Rick :)
How about "Rindskopf "

Nope, that one is Loetz.
Thanks anyway Sean.

im trying to find something that is very close to yours Rick.
Rick , I have to say that this is way to nice to be kralik!!
Thanks Sean, I'm sure someone will recognize it. I agree, I didn't think it was Kralik either. We'll see what others have to say.
Your very welcome Rick!!!!!! :) I cant wait to see what others have to say!!
I know me too!
Wow, rick this is a nice one, the color, the irridescent is spectacular, the small little notch on it, are special.
This could some new piece made in the manner of LOETZ, still done in Austria call"Cabinet Vase" they all have special design, we see a lot on Ebay.
Is this look old to you rick.
Who ever made this it is spectacular and beautyful

I thought Igor Muller when I first saw it - his pieces seem to be flooding the market right now.
I agree with Alan and Mac...I am thinking modern, too.
so I just want to be very clear on this.......... so what is called then?
Thanks for the comments and love Alan, Mac and Michelle and thanks for the love Agh, Silvia, Deano, Craig, Oz, Courtenay, Valentino, Mike, Smiata, Ivonne, Macart and Just_a_random... it's all appreciated..
@Michelle and Mac... I appreciate your input. At first, that had also crossed my mind, but his pieces don't typically have a ground and polished pontil. Although beautiful - the quality of his work doesn't rise to the level of finishing a pontil by grinding and polishing. Also, the base shows nice wear where it makes contact with the table. Finally, I've never seen an example of of his work, where he uses cracked glass shards. Here are some examples of his pontils: http://postimg.org/image/w4b1jf0hh/

Interesting to know about the base wear...let me look into this more! :)
...and I meant to also say - whoever made it, it is real beauty!
Sorry to say but this is a very nice but modern piece. Similar pieces can be found on ebay
That's what I say to, indeed beautiful.
After all, what the hell do I know on this, not much anyways.
Alan
Thanks Michelle, I appreciate your help. If you look at the base in pic 3, there is a ring which has light scratches where it makes contact with the table.
Thanks Tony I appreciate your input... Like I said earlier, Modern Czech is what first came to mind, so prior to buying it, I looked at every example of his I could find - ebay and google - but couldn't find a match. None remotely similar in form nor finish . It very well may be modern, but I don't believe it's Muller. Like I stated earlier, he just doesn't go that extra step to finish the pontil, or use cracked glass in this manner.
Rick - I wonder if we need to create a new category of glass; instead of calling it in the "style of Loetz"we need to call it in the "style of Muller". Surely he cannot not be the only person responsible for this type of glass which we are seeing on eBay when one does a Loetz search.
Just as an aside and in my opinion - the upside to this style of glass is that some it (this one included) it truely beautiful. The downside is that I see it causing a lot of confusion as to who made it and will continue to do so as it floods the market. The other downside is that there will be those unscrupulous types who will ground out pontils and sign pieces falsely.
Here you go Michelle... http://postimg.org/image/g6ip83hnp/ The vase doesn't sit flush. It rests higher in a couple of spots and the wear patterns are consistent with that. I suppose wear patterns can be manufactured so who knows...
@Mac.. Yes there are at least a couple more I've seen. One is from a seller Tomaso and another is Jafu. Each has their own forms and decor that, I assume, are unique to them.
I appreciate everybody's input and opinion which is one of the reasons we're all part of CW. So, I'm going to trust you guys that it's a new piece, but I do love it regardless!
Thanks for the love Peggy.
Thanks for the love Efesgirl.
Thanks for the love Rustfarm and Pease, it's appreciated.
My goodness the colours in this so beautiful.... :-)
Thanks for the nice comment and love Inky, it's appreciated.
~ WOW ~ What a stunning piece of glass!! I love the colors of it -- my fav !!
Thanks Rose. Turns out it is a contemporary piece. I just came back from the Antique Roadshow in S.C. and they dated it to the 80's.
Beautiful Colors:)
Thank you for the love and comment Trey, and thanks for the love Radegunder.

It's the same color as my truck and I swear I see yellow in there too:) what do you think?
Yeah Trey, it's definitely the same color as your truck, which looks great BTW. The yellow you see is the light going through the vase which makes it look yellow, but it's not.
Ahh it tricked me:)
Thanks for the nice compliment on the truck too:)
Everything about this vase Works! for me. I really like the iridescent green. I pretty much like everything green. I hope you find out what it is. Nice piece Rick.
Thanks so Much Deano and Ho2.
@Deano... In comment 33, I mentioned that I took it to the Antiques Roadshow. They told me it's a contemporary Czech piece dating from the 80's. Regardless, I love it and appreciate your comment.
loving it again....SO beautiful !!!!
Thanking you again Rosie!
