This one is a bit of a mystery. I have seen 2 others in this decor, but that's all. It has the acid-etched oval "Czecho-Slovakia" mark, which puts the production date post-1918. I think it is probably closer to 1922 or even later production. A large piece, it measures 6 3/8" high by 7 1/4" wide. The pontils is quite small, at just under the size of a quarter. Reddish-orange glass on the interior, with the silvery-gray design over that, and a layer of clear glass over all. The outside has a bit of texture to it. I was not able to find the shape in the Loetz band 2 musterschnitte.

Thanks Craig. The shape alone reminds me a little of some of the Schaumglas pieces.
What a cool piece. congrats!
A very beautiful vase! I love that foot too!
Great colours and form! Thanks for sharing it with us!
i don't think I have seen one like this before. Love it and the awesome threaded bowl as well. Thanks for posting them.
cool piece, i have one signed the same way- very heavy for its size. the metallic pattern is gray in some places and chrome in others but yours has mottling witch is unusual...even more unusual.
Hi Jericho, I knew you had one, or had sent photos out to the group a while back. I have only seen 3 in this decor, counting this one. Does your shape appear in the line drawings book? I have looked for this one, and found a similar shape but it was many years earlier than the probably production date of this. They may have just dredged up an older form and used it for this decor.
no, not in the ricke but maybe in the new book...almost sure its shaumglass related
I have the new book, but it only covers Series II, not Series III, which this would fall under, as well as the Schaumglas pieces.
Hi David
The Orange/white/brown within the pontil gives the appearance of the end-of-day pieces /Aus 237
... the colors could also head you toward Titania / Flamarion ....
... not sure if this is helpful ... Lovely piece
It is really interesting how they layered for various effects in this piece. looking at the main photos you just wouldn't guess the spatter would be part of the equation.
