This vase was a super win on eBay AU. There were several bidders competing but I managed to score it in the end.
It measures 11.5 cm tall, 3.6 cm across the top rim, & 4.3 cm across the base. The decor is a fine spatter in orange, with an intense iridescent finish. There are four indentations on each side of the vase.
Fourth photo shows it with another vase of the same shape in pink, which I've owned for many years. Always nice to get a variation on a theme!
The pink vase has been identified as Kralik, so I guess the orange one most likely is as well. The pink vase has a very smooth satin finish, whereas the orange one has a more raised texture to the spatter.
Bohemian origin, circa 1900.
Lovely colour! Would "bunt iridescent orange" be a good description do you think?
Many thanks, Bernard! Yes, fits the bill nicely!
I had to take the photos against a white background for a change to better show the colour.
Beautiful piece. I lean towards Rindskopf.
Much appreciated, Ales, & interesting to hear!
The decor does look like the examples of "Rindskopf Cisele" pictured on your site...
Always good to find a shape in another decor, and here a fine one too.
Much appreciated, Peggy!
I wonder if the pink vase is this type of glass? https://www.bohemianglass.org/katalog/rindskopf1/opal-iris/
Excellent eBay win!! They look great together in pic #4!!
I believe your pink vase is Kralik Glatt Silberiris, and the other one appears to possibly be Kralik Peach Oilspot. In your last image at the rim of the new example, it is possible to see a couple of colors of spots when looking from the inside out. The colors I am seeing are a characteristic typical of that Kralik decor.
Thanks Ales, the pink does have a similar look. I have the blue version of this vase, a pink one would be great, too!
Thanks also, Scott! Yes, I'm super happy with it!
Great to hear from you Craig! Your input is much appreciated, & I will soon be posting an example of another vase sold as Peach Oil Spot (hopefully it arrives soon) in a different shape. As soon as I get it I will compare it with this one.
Bear in mind that Peach Oilspot examples vary quite a bit in terms of the exterior appearance (depth of exterior color) and also iridescence level. All of them exhibit some similar characteristics when viewed from the inside out.
Have posted the new arrival!
