When I tried to find out a little about these vases I looked at Twentieth Century Glass and found very similar vases attributed to Ludwig Moser. I therefore thought that was correct. I then (first comment ever on CW) told Scottvez to check out Ludwig Moser as he had a similar trophy shape vase to be identified. I then read the responses to his post which said, more likely to be Frank Welz! So here are mine any ideas?! They both have a decoration on the front and are they known as 'ox blood' in colour? Many thanks if you can help:-)
BEAUTIFUL-- I like the subtle enamel work on them!

Thank you Obscurities, it was your comment to scotvez that sorted me out!! So glad I found this site!!
I have a similar vase I'm trying to I.d. You thanked obscurities for helping you sort it out but I can't find their comment. I'd appreciate a little direction.

scottvez has left you a link so you can i.d. your trophy vase!
Trophy vases are pre-1918 (more like 1900). They may have been made by any number of Bohemian companies but Welz is the most likely because a few of the decors crossed over into new shapes. The enameling may have been done by Moser or another Moser type refinery- I have a similar set of six with the exact same shape, two distinct kinds of enameling and one without any enameling at all. Great set!
Jericho! Thank you so much for your information about my Welz trophy vases!
I suppose the Moser type refinery is where the Twentieth Century Glass get there attribution from. Big learning curve for so many glass makers that I think I will always be Justanovice!! Thanks again!
Thank you Deanteaks for the Love!
the quality of moser enamelling is top notch.. This wouldn't be in the same league. I personally doubt that moser was responsible for any of the pieces in this shape. YMMV. The Yellow variegated that Moser and Harrach did were different from most of the variegated you see on the market.
I am going to stay out of the welz Ruckl debate other than to say I'd believe either of those makers for this.
or both
I have posted picture of the top view of one of these vases if that is helpful in this debate! Thank you all for these very interesting comments - lot of learning to do!!
love the vases -- and wanted to say thanks to all that commented and educated the rest of us that have the passion for glass -- was amazed with leahgoodwin -- you should be honored -- usually just does the "loves" -- certainly blew me out of the water with all her knowledge
I know 'amazing' are they not? I love it that the CW crew give their knowledge and expertise so willingly!! Thank you all so much from me also!!
