I finally got a decent piece of Pallme-konig. I've wanted at least one in my collection for a number of years now and I just haven't seen one that was affordable and that I liked. Usually they are the questionable is it Kralik or Rindskopf or is it PK types that you see.
So I've come to the conclusion this type of glass really is that rare :) But I got lucky last week and got this display cabinet sized piece in the mail today in great condition.
one thing I noticed when photographing it is the remarkable similarity to Diana and the Kralik version of Diana. Ozon base with iridescent papillion type splotches. It glows quite brightly under blacklight.
I guess that dates this to 1899-1902 or thereabouts??

a beauty!
Great piece Alisa. How do you know this one is PK, is it the green interior or something else?
I didn't even know Kralik made a Diana copy :doh: :). Does it have a decor name I can look up or do you happen to know some links where I can see examples? Any way to easily tell them apart?
I did see this one

Do you know if the kralik ground colors are all different than the loetz diana pieces?
hmm, I never thought of diana as being on anything but an Ozon but I guess it was.
I don't have any kralik diana. I can't speak for the difference in background colors exactly because color can show differently on different monitors.
as far as this piece, this shape and this decor is shown in the passau museum
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep hunting :). I assume Ozon would be the greenish-opalescent type ground as shown in the pic here?
yeah ozon is a bluish grey color. it's a loetz color but I assume the other companies would have used the same designation for the same basic color.
AND DIANA! I HAVE THREE PK VASES IN THAT SHAPE, BUT MUCH TALLER.
