    This is the most commonly found of the Welz Honeycomb décors. Here it is elongated due to the shape of the vase. Next to it the base of the small vase shows the décor as it's usually seen. In pic. three you can see the honeycomb starting to be elongated and in pic. four you can see the base.

    I much prefer the elongated form of this décor.

    Height 23 cm./9 inches.

      Great one.... I love the organic base contrasted with the linearity of the body shape.

      Thank you SEAN, prompt and positive as ever!

      Thank you, Craig, and there seems to be no end to the variations on this theme.

      I agree with Craig Peggy, the base is fantastic... it really sets off the vase!
    9. sklo42 sklo42, 9 years ago
      Thank you, Rick. What's more when you handle it you realise that the base is made of two pieces of glass, the feet and the frilly top.
    10. Rick55 Rick55, 9 years ago
      But it's all attached right?
    11. sklo42 sklo42, 9 years ago
      Rick, both the feet and the upward part are attached around the circumference of the base. However the tops of the three large leaves are not attached to the vase higher up. I do now see that the photograph is not clear on that point. Peggy

      Now I get it Peggy, thanks for the clarification. -Rick

      Hi Peggy. Lovely. The variety of Welz shapes never ceases to surprise me. I've never seen a tall vase like this that goes straight up nor the ribbed one before.
    14. sklo42 sklo42, 9 years ago
      Agree Fran, the variety is endless.......thanks for taking time to comment.
