As you know I am busy lately cataloguing our collection, and not being an specialist in Bohemian glass (nor Murano, nor many other kinds of glass...) I am having some trouble with several pieces.
Today I am asking for help (pleeeease :$ ) to identify these four (most probably) Bohemian glass vases.
I suspect the white one is Kralik, and could the fourth one be Kralik too? Not sure if No.2 could even be from Lötz... or maybe kralik too? :/
I hope yo cn help me in this tough task.
I see you all love my having problems to identify them... LOL
Just joking. Thanks for your love Vet, sklo, inky, Ian, Sean, Moonstone and Czech.
I hope someone can give me some hints about these vases identity!!!
Haha! This could be the first year exam! I don't know but I am *feeling* Harrach, Rindskopf, unknown, Kralik. Remember, I am a newbie.
Although I am leaning towards Kralik for 3 owing to the flower-like rim.
I have seen similar Harrach vases to your first example with the green tadpoles.
First one, looks to me as British Glass Stuart & Sons. Rest could be Bohemian.
Thanks so much for your inputs!!! I am checking the names and shapes... wish me luck! Stuart & sons.. mmm, I'll check that up too :)
Colori, where you thinking of the Cairgorm range by William Husselbee? There really re simmilarities. In any ase, the white glass doesn't seem to fit... but he decor is virtually the same. Will do a wider search. thanks!
Yes exactly, but i'm just collector, not specialist.
This Stuart stuff seems to have much wider tadpole heads... I've red that the Bohemian equivalent -Harrach I guess- don't have a polished pontil... but silly me didn't take a picture of the base so I won't be able to find out till i go to the other house and doublecheck it... :/ I'm trying to find Harrach vases as LoetzBuddies tells he's seen, but so far nothing really simmilar comes out on the internet :(
Thanksd again for your inputs!!!
If you have any tango floriforms... :-)
I should add, I have been collecting for a year - hence the comment above, and more to do with how I am feeling about identifying things at the moment, in case you wondered.
I undestand ian... I am very bad identifying other glass any than Scandinavian. I am know learning much having to go through all of Carlos's collection... but I've always been very focused in one type of glass :(
In any case thanks for sharing what you know.
The good thing about CW is the learning we all do here!!!
Glass is so wide ranging, has some good history to it and had lots of "borrowing" so I think it's super hard too. Hey, I learned about the Rosewater from you...
stunning!!!
Just my thoughts - the first one has a theme that Harrach used, but I have always seen it used on a clear unpatterned body, and the style of the applied 'peacock' feathers isn't quite the same, so I'd think another maker....2nd is Rindskopf, third maybe? Kralik (they sometimes used a deep forest green color glass) and fourth, Kralik Martele, due to the form and color. You have a great collection in such a short time! :)
Thanks Michelle!
I thought 4 would be Kralik Martelé, but somehow it didn't fir with the imaged i had seen before...
No.2 Rindskopf? that would explain I like it that much :)
Actually these items have been in Carlos's collections for years. No.3 is one of the very first ones he ever purchased! If I've been collecting glass for 17 years already (since 1997) he must have done for at least 25... :) And I hear there are many other vases in storage :)
And i learnt it from Carlos, Amber :)
Would number 2 be Glatt Green from Rindskopf?
It seems we hve got something here about pic 1.
Alfredo posted one year ago some pics showing German Jugendstil glass at the Passau Museum (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/78171-german-jugendstil-schliersee-steigerwa). To them LoetzBuddies said those on the first pic looked like Stuart "Albany", and Dragonflyjohn (?) corrected him saying "No, not 'Albany' I'm afraid, this has a 'cloudy' vaseline type glass but 'Cairngorm' which is clear glass", and as this vase has this cloudy vaseline/opaline fade on top.... I think chances are it is an Stuart and Sons Albany vase :) So no Bohemian glass after all.
By the way, could the vase on pic.4 also be British?
Hello Austro,
The first may be Felix Bracquemond? He did a similar technique and one is in the muse D'Orsay.
You have been listing some great pieces!
Thanks fl3dermaus!!! I've been checking the collections at the Musée d'Orsay but sadly there's no sign of glass vases there -although there's some really amazing decorated plates!!! I'll do a deeper search!!!
So far the options are...
No.1_Stuart Albany or Harrach or Felix Braquemond
No.2_Rindskopf (x2)
No.3_Kralik (x2)
No.4_Kralik (x2, Martelé)
ANy other ideas about what they can be?
;)
Thanks DrFluffy, smiata and charcoal :)
