This vase was an op shop (thrift store) find several years ago. It is made from clear, pale pink opalescent glass with a circlet of applied glass leaves on the top rim. It measures 12 cm tall, 14 cm across the top rim, & 7 cm across the base, which has a partly polished pontil mark. I think this might be be Kralik.
When I found it in the op shop, one of the leaves was sadly sitting alongside, obviously having been broken off while on display. I glued it back on. Still beautiful.
Sweeet and delicate.Good you managed to fix it :)
I love this and think you are likely right that it's Kralik......and what a coincidence that we've both posted Kralik applied leaves. Though probably thirty or so years apart in age.
Very pretty, love it!...:-)
Many thanks, Ivonne!
Thanks also sklo42, love your latest photos & it is indeed quite fortuitous that we've both posted leafy Kralik things! Those baskets of your are fabulous!
Many thanks, inky!
It is so feminine!
I wonder how many treasured old things are fatally damaged at the op shop. Sad really.
It is a most lady - like piece of glass, isn't it!
Yes, I would imagine that many items are reduced to shards in whilst in transit to the op shop...how many things would never even make it onto the shelves? Sad to speculate on...
