This is a really attractive vase from Japan, and in my lowly opinion has almost a Kralik style to the decor. Feel free to correct me.
Made from a sea green glass it has been laid with silver foil that has been burst during blowing. Dark red trails have then been laid in a random pattern over the vessel.
It is a very traditional Japanese shape, and for me the decor totally fits the Japanese aesthetic. The walls of the vase are thinner than much of the glass from Japan of this era and the size is typical at 20cm.
I recently rediscovered this when going through a box from the scary storeroom!
I have some feels about who made this vase but no proof so won't go there.
Ah, super gorgeous vase and such a unique design, Karen you can always be counted on to bring something fabulous to us & it's most welcome right now!
Karen, I totes thought this was Kralik from the thumbnail...it has a "Pampas" vibe going on...
Love the colour scheme & overlapping patterns. And how good is it to rediscover a forgotten gem?
The Eagle HAS landed !!!!
Thanks So Much !!!
Thanks so much Jenni!
It’s very different to what a lot of people think about Japanese glass.
The light justs hits this vase so beautifully !~
Phew glad you said that Marin, now I almost feel ok about the Kralik ref!!
It’s a nice piece of work, and was cool to find again
How good is a lovely surprise when it comes free!
Lol Vet.
Onward and outward now ! (Just a bit, ok?)
I’m right onto it Phil! Thanks mate, hope you are staying well and keeping entertained.
I know the joy of a forgotten jem and this is a beauty. I particularly love the substantial red trailing!
It's a cheap and fun thing to do, opening stored boxes of glass!
The trails really make this pop I think Peggy, and it's such a Japanese thing to do to use a dirty colour like that on such a pure base.
Thanks, glad you like it!
it looks like kralik indeed
Thanks Sylvia!
Thanks Mary!
Don't get too lost in the archives :)
Wonderful glass! The color is amazing.
It's an interesting combination of colours and works well Elisabethan.
