PK glass with "modelled decoration"

These glasses are attributed to the Elisabeth glass factory (Pallme-König & Habel). They form a group for which there are hardly any comparable shapes with other known decorations of the Elisabeth factory.
They divide the collector community. Some find them beautiful, others rather hideous. They probably have a bit of both – a kind of dualism of delicacy and coarseness. The perfect surface sets itself off in delicate shades of purple with the finest luster iris. The harmony of surface, color and iris is hardly inferior to the nobility of old Venetian glass. It invites the eye to look and the hands to touch. Now the coarseness. It weighs on the delicate vessels in the form of powerful, massive applications in gray. Thick glass strands, massive leaves, strong handles and feet form the antithesis of nobility. They are opaque, decorated with gray shimmering crumbs on dark purple glass. Even in the sunlight, they look undercooled and dull-sensuous.
No matter how one feels about the design, it is a particularity and, when viewed sympathetically, quite expressionistic to fairy-tale-like. The pasty overlays, as if formed from modeling clay, ultimately transform the simple vessels into ornamental objects.
