So.... back to the obsession and Kralik in particular.
I picked up this little basket last week 'dead cheap'. Baskets are notoriously difficult to identify unless they have a clearly identifiable decor that is associated with a manufacturer. So ordinarily I avoid them. But this one is clearly very similar in shape to Kralik pieces and as I already had a Kralik piece in the same shape listed here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/200295-kralik-millefiori-iris-basket
In the above post it was Ian who made an observation about the 'cinqfoil detail to the handles' and how it could be an identifier for other pieces - A great observation and not something I had thought about at the time - but that I didn't forget.
And so in pic 4 it is alongside that other piece, which is clearly Kralik and it is clear that both share that same 'finishing' detail on the handles.
My my thats some intense blue !!!!
thanks for sharing Phil
It really is Malkey... thanks for the comment
