PIC. 01: 9.5" HIGH. 6.5 WIDE TOP; 3.5" WIDE BOTTOM. RED/ORANGE GLASS CASED IN CLEAR, AND ENAMELED IN BLACK WITH GREEK MOTIFS AND A MAIDEN EXTENDING A GLASS, MAYBE AS A WINE OFFERING. WE KNOW NOW NOT ONLY THE HARRACH ALSO PRODUCED TANGO, BUT THAT IT

PIC. 03: A MOST RARE TANGO OPEN SALT, 2,25" TALL AND 2.5" ACROSS, SUSTAINED BY AN APPLIED BLACK FOOT WITH THREE UPTURNED PETALS, FORMING A CUP, AND ANOTHER THREE AS THE FEET PROPER. THE DISPOSITION OF THE PETALS IS A KRALIK MANUFACTURING STANDARD. . UNMARKED.
PIC. 04. PICTURE OF ITS BOTTOM.
