I know nothing about Rococco Art Glass.
I googled the various spellings and saw the mark.
Bohemian is about all that is detailed.
The beautiful electric blue looks like soft velvet!...:-)
Oh my god, that is incredible......
Yes Inky it does look velvety it has a soft matt finish together with the folded top makes it look like pleated material .
Thanks Vet & stillwater.
OOPs & you too Bellin68 !
That blue is intense!
I don't think anyone really knows. you find pieces that are marked PK with very similar decoration and quality and rococo art glass is also found on the cameo imitation pieces. It's bohemian but no one knows what company. (at least not that I've heard of) given the styling of some of the glass I've often wondered if they are lower end Harrach blanks decorated by a refiner for export.
Hi GSO They have that feel to me, some are better than others . put on the whole quite a lot of work put into the finishing.
your very welcome ozmarty:)
That blue is Stunning! and the shape is just gorgeous, and the painting!, wow!
What a spectacular piece. Thanks for sharing something so incredible.
