This vase was the other half of a two item job lot purchased on eBay AU.
It is made from a thick layer of greenish yellow glass with an “Abstract Flower” decor in pink & white. This decor actually reminds me of pressed flowers! Did anyone have a flower press as a child?
The vase measures around 16 cm tall, 4.5 cm across the cut top rim, & 5 cm across the base. There is no pontil mark, however the stem of the “pressed flower” starts (or ends) there. It has a satin iridescent finish.
Bohemian origin, circa 1900.
I note that this decor seems to have been produced by a few makers so I’m hesitant to name any one in particular.
To the best of my knowledge, there are 2 makers identified robustly as makers of this "Abstract Flower" décor. They are Kralik and Pallme Koenig. The PK versions are generally quite a bit more organic in form, and I am unaware of any example by PK in a green ground, where there are many Kralik examples in a similar ground. I believe this to be an example of Kralik production.
Many thanks, Craig! I do have another vase in this decor in a different shape as well, same colour though.
