A Harrach Vase with 'Kiralfi' Décor

Harrach started etching glass arround 1885, the mostly floral décors of simply combinations of one or two colors is named 'Biaritz'. My 'Kiralfi' vase of three colours, H=17.5 D=15.0 cm, has an inner case of aquamarin blue spreading down to orange and the outside is covered by a layer of 'Altgruen' glass. The sharply etched orchids are complemented by gilded painting and seem to hang like silhouttes in the air of a sunset sky. The top rim reminds onto similar items made by Burgun, Schwer&Co, Meisenthal. This type of glass was produced arround 1899 and was presented at the World Fair in Paris 1900.
