    This is one of my occasional international purchases - a super example of Kralik's "Banded" decor.
    Even factoring in the exchange rate, postage cost, & sales tax, this still worked out a good deal for such a HUGE piece of glass in a decor that seems pretty hard to come by. Even though I'm trying to avoid buying big glass I can always make some room for a show - stopper like this!
    It is made from a thick layer of dark green glass with an intense iridescent finish & random banding. The vase measures 26 cm tall, 5.5 cm across the square top rim, & 10.5 cm across the base. I find the shape of this vase really impressive, how it changes from a square section at the top to the square being intersected with an ellipse at the base. Really cool!
    Made by Kralik, circa 1900.

      It's a beauty Ironlace. I have the same decor Kralik vase only it's a smaller version at 16.5cm (6.5 in.) I wasn't aware that they came in different sizes.
