Two interesting vases with each of them slightly differing in terms of size, colour and weight. Obviously, a glassworker was given instructions to make the same vase so many times in a production run. Because these vases were hand blown, minor variations were bound to occur. This crimped top has been seen many times featured in Welz glass. They have a small, solid pedestal foot with a semi polished pontil. The decor is splashed cranberry and white over clear? Height is 8 cms and width is also 8 cms from ruffle to ruffle. The bulbous body is a couple of cms wider. They sit well together on the shelf. Made first 5 years of 20th century?
Truly gorgeous cranberry & white pattern, lovely bowls from all angles
Thanks Newfld. I wanted a pair of these and couldn't resist when I saw another one. Great examples of Bohemian glass making. They're great mates together on the glass shelf.
Decor makes Legras a possibility on this one.

Thanks for the comment, Scott. I've seen Legras vases in splashed mauve and yellow on websites. My attribution is based on the shape of the top - but I could be wrong! I'll have to investigate this firm a little more.
