    Caged glass vases have been an inspiration as well as a frustration as long as I've been collecting. On the one hand they seem to be a copy of the French Art Deco glass producers. The French, with their incredible glass blowing and Iron work leave skills leave Kralik in the dust.
    It would be interesting to know some history of this technique (I am certainly not a historian or researcher on caged glass). I have seen it used in Spanish, Bohemian, and French glass lamps.

    The great thing about Kralik has always been their use of texture and creative shapes- in Caged glass you can definitely see it.
    Tango, Powders, Congetti, Bambus and Iris (type) decors are all used for Caged glass.

    My focus here is to show the range of metal cages and what decors they used on them.

    1. Cream color with blue powder spots, the finish is then crackled and flashed. The piece is pontiled with a finished rim. The cage is painted red but I'm not sure if that was done at the time of production. The ironwork is a curved diamond pattern.

    2. Although the ironwork is exactly the same as the first example there are differences; The blowing of the piece is more pronounced and the piece is ground at the rim. The decor is cased powders.

    3. This example is wider that the first to with the cage shape being more oval. The decor is cased powders. This example is the tallest in my collection 11 1/2" .

    4. This shape is the roundest of the set and has a ground rim. The ironwork is not curved like the others but more geometric (quilted).

    If you can contribute to the collection of images either on your post or sending examples to me it would be truly appreciated and credited too... (4 posts to go)
