When posting a new shape or décor, I am always tentative but I think this a Welz shape in a nice décor.
The yellow lights up under uv light but I don't think it uranium, maybe someone can enlighten me?
18.7cm tall.
Ian, I want this one!
Thanks.
From your collection's standards, I really appreciate that! And in 5 minutes of posting?!
A known Welz shape and known Welz decor. This decor is in the Passau Welz case on a shape which is documented in production literature. The glow is likely a little orange looking and is the result of Cadmium used to color some yellow glass.
This link is to a pic which shows the shape number, the production literature image, and the upper right example in the collage is the example in the Passau Welz case.

Great vase Ian! I love the colors and those dimples!
Ian, your vase is absolutely gorgeous!! Really, really a special one.
Thanks, all, for the information and comments.
By linking this seldom seen decor to a shape identified in known factory production literature, and linking the shape of this vase to other decors by the same maker.
