inky
(229 items)
I was told these were possibly vases by Franz Welz and have researched quite a bit and cant find anything with this type of 'square-ish' rim, the link is to 'scottvez' post is the nearest I can find.
I too like Greatsnowyowl (in 'scottvez' post) am leaning towards Legras, but not sure! so can anybody maybe put me in a direction, any help would be appreciated, thanks!
It has a polished inverted pontil mark and they stand approx..22cm - 6 1/2 inches tall.
Have placed them in the Bohemian category as wasn't sure were to put them.
Thank you for stopping!...:-)

Good to see you up and about....;-)
KS, Legras has varied quality. you can't look at one piece of legras and base all conceptions on that one piece. Some legras has pontil scars some is mavered some is thick and some is thin, some has fantastic exceptional quality enamelling some look like something a kindergartener could have done better. so on and so forth. there is a ton of variation in product from legras. From what I can tell from the book the line names are based on the shape not the glass color patterning. there are a lot of designs that are very similar to yours but they have wildly different names. It seems to be based on a trim pattern more than the ribbing.
I doubt the piece on the right is Legras.
these could also be Harrach (along with the possibilities of English or Legras)
that last comment was back to topic on these pieces btw I realized that could be confusing. :)
Spatter stuff is not my specialty I'll be the first to admit it. (in fact, I really don't much like the stuff as a general rule, no offense) :) but I have seen a ton of legras in general and the quality is wildly variable so I wouldn't be shocked at all to see a wide difference in the field. It's a mistake to get too hung up on details like thickness, pontil and what not when it comes to legras (or Harrach for that matter). :)
They also made this for a number of years. Plenty of room for variation. Whoops I do have a piece in a shape that was also done for spatter. it definitely has a cut and polished pontil scar. So, I can confirm for sure that some of these have polished pontil marks.
but I am talking more in general than arguing for the two above. the more I look at the ones above the more I do think they're probably Harrach or English of some flavour.
@ Ks's two examples looking at the book some more. I am totally unsure about your right piece. It might be.
Thanks Greatsnowyowl and ks85 for stopping and discussing it has been most interesting!....:-)
Thanks very much Mac63 and Hedgewalker ....:-)
Many thanks MattyG!...:-)
Many thanks Shawnl86!....:-)
Beautiful, unusual vases inky. Posted just before i joined i think, Glad I've seen them. Sorry i can't help ID, good luck
Hi Vintagegran....yes it was a while ago and still none the wiser..although I am leaning a little towards English now...:-)
Ahh, I'd have guessed English, but then i know nothing, lol, could as easily be Bohemian, whatever, they are lovely unusual vases.
I know nothing tool! Vintagefran and agree what ever they are!.....:-)
hmmm, these are the first vases that I have seen that have even a passing similarity to one I have (also unidentified)...check this out please!
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/150259-bohemian-welz-harrach-a-yellow-twist?
so yes now we have similar shapes with my pink vase and my yellow Harrach?
I love these. I would call them corns on the cob...very unoriginal...
It does look like indian corn! Every once in a while I start another search on my yellow vase but still nothing. This the only one I've seen that is even vaguely similar in shape.
I would think at this point that these are actually Welz production. They are in a decor which is seen on some Welz baskets, and the rim and neck region are the same as the piece I just posted today.
I did not remember seeing these, but even if I had, 7 years ago I did not know enough about varied Welz production to have ID'd them. Great pair. I love the large ribbed body.
Interesting result.
