Unusual Rindskopf Marbled Red Vase

This little 5-1/8" tall vase is in a classic Rindskopf shape, and at first I felt this was an unusual variant of their Diluvium decor. Diluvium was one of Rindskopf's early decors, and is a marbled opaque glass that is usually seen in red marbled with green (some believe also all marbled red, but that is still up for debate). It is usually a very thick glass, and was sometimes deeply carved in relief. I have included an image from 'Moderne Gläser' (1901) by Gustav E. Pazaurek that shows some examples of carved Diluvium. (If anyone would like to see this book, it is available on Google books as a free pdf.)

A translation of "Diluvium" from German to English is "Pleistocene" which in turn means "Most New" or "Newest" derived from Greek. So perhaps it was their way of saying it was the "Latest" style in glass?

Anyway, Alisa kindly pointed out that the Diluvium vases on display at the Passau Glass Museum are all red with green marbling, and suggested that my vase is much more similar to a Lithyalin-type (developed by Engermann) marbled red glass. My particular vase is completely opaque marbled red glass that is cased in clear, which gives a very shiny appearance to the vase. I am very happy to add this to my collection of Rindskopfs.
