This is such a pretty decor that even though I already have two other examples of it, I couldn't refuse this one, especially at the reasonable price it was.
The vase is made from milky opalescent glass with applied multicolourerd frit decoration. It measures 16.2 cm tall, 6 cm across the wavy crimped top rim, & 6.2 cm across the base. For comparison, in the fourth photo it is shown next to another example, a similar vase purchased many years ago at a flea market. The new one is a little taller, with the ribbed design being more prominent as well. Overall, there is also a predominance of lime green specks in the frit decor.
Not quite identical twins!
Bohemian origin, circa 1900 - Kralik.
I'm a fan of these too, Marin, and like you didn't stick at one. They can also come with a distinctly blue opalescent look. In fact you can see hints of it in your photos.
They're beauties!!!
They look like a fine pair to me.
Many thanks, Peggy!
It really is a decor that's hard to resist, & I'd go another if it turns up, there's a squat vase in it as well - I think you might have that one. Yes, the opalescence is much better in real life, & more apparent in the new one, too.
Thanks also, Scott!
Much appreciated, Deano!
