Just arrived, a stunning little vase that was absolutely unexpected! I was the only bidder and won this for about 18USD. It appeared that no one wanted this orphaned vase.
When I opened the box, I was amazed at the beautiful shimmering glass. My photos do not do it justice. It is clear with a bright green spotting, then iridised in a fantastic gold finish. This little gem is in immaculate condition and was successfully cleaned of flower bouquet residue.
It is 4.25" tall x 2.75" dia. Ricke's refence book shows it to be a PN I-7574. The only decor listed is metallgelb PG 7574 ca 1898. The overall effect is very sparkling and bright. What a pleasant surprise!
Thanks jimtim, SpiritBear, vetraio50, and bracken3!
Those surprises are the best! Congrats on this great find!
Sammyz, what a pretty one! I have a vase in another shape that looks a lot like yours does, but I thought it was Diana Ciselé. Mine does have the really bright golden iridescence, though. Is Diana Ciselé more matte, then, and mine could be 'metallgelb'? Thanks!
Hi Michelleb007! I don't know if either of our vases are metallgelb or Diana Cisele.
Maybe someone who has seen both can chime in? Great question!
On Loetz.com they list Metallgelb under Yellows; it means 'metallic yellow', so I think this may refer to the glass color and not the golden finish, but I could easily be wrong. Either way, the finish on your vase is lovely; don't you love it when you open something and it surprises you? :)
Thanks MALKEY! Good to see you on CW! Hope you are doing well.
