This Art Nouveau vase is one of two that I scored as a buy it now lot.
It was listed as Kralik (& the second vase, which I'll list tomorrow, definitely is one of their products) but I'm not 100% certain.
Made from a single layer of dull olive green coloured glass, it measures 23 cm tall, 4.5 cm across the top rim, & 7.5 cm across the base.
Of a "genie bottle" type form, it features ribbing with a subtle twist, & is strongly iridescent.
Not in perfect condition, as there are some shallow chips around the top rim, but still displays very nicely.
I'm always up for some Bohemian Art Nouveau glass...it's slinky, glamorous, & magical!
Nice vase, Marin. I have the décor in other colours and when bought they were Rindskopf 'Ribbed'. The examples I have to hand have exactly the same foot. That said maybe there have been changes I've not kept up with. I think that sentence breaks/smashes grammar rules :)
Much appreciated, Peggy...after it arrived yesterday, I spent a fair bit of time trawling through various images of Bohemian glass & thought Rindskopf might be a possibility, so it's great to have another opinion, most helpful. I just didn't seem very Kralik to me with that shape...
Tomorrow's post is a Kralik decor that you are quite familiar with...minus a brass flower frog though, grrrr! Where are they all? Where all the lost socks live, I suppose!
PS: No problem with the potential grammar issues, as I, & others of my generation in Australia, are the sad result of an educational experiment of the 1970s - 80s era that dispensed with the teaching of grammar almost entirely. I'm retrospectively scraping together the basics thanks to the auto check on Word...
Language is a living thing and, ........changes up with which I have not kept, may be correct but deserves to be dead!
Well said, my friend! :-)
