Ok guys and gals,
Here is a fine bohemian iridised 'thingy'. Almost certainly Poschinger, just possibly Kralik, definitely c1900-1910. Cold cut top, no pontil.
Just one problem, why did someone make it this wonderful and odd shape?
I saw it in field, not far from Paris, and had to have it. Just too weird.
Suggestions please.....
