Only recently did I find out that Metallin was done in more than just green and blue. The braun/brown is not often found but I did find examples from past auctions in Europe.
Typical of Metallin it has the optic ribs and in the case of the brown it is lined in a moss green. The green shows through between the ribs.
At 10 inches high it makes a nice presentation.
F.W.F

Would it be possible to see some larger pics?
ks85 : these are the auction photos which they let me use. I have no idea of how to make them larger. Mr. T said he would try.
Would love to see them if he can figure it out.
A google searched shows the same vase(but a little taller), but the pics aren't much bigger.
It's here if you haven't seen it.

KS85 : THANKS FOR THE LINK. IT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MY VASE.
manddmoir-- Thanks for the comment. Are you the people I bought a Loetz Cobalt Ciscele vase from ? Frank
Not all metallin is ribbed. the Book says there are rare non optic pieces that were made as well.
