Please Note ! I'm away on holiday from Thursday October 25 th until Monday November 5th, and unable to answer questions or issue invoices. If you win any of my items during that period, please wait until I return for an invoice before paying. I will probably be posting out again on Wednesday November 7th. (So if it is not convenient for you to wait a little while for your item, please don't bid!) On offer... (More pictures and full specification below) This stunning glass rose bowl is a wonderful art nouveau piece probably made by the Kralik glassworks in south western Bohemia , in about 1905. The styling is similar also to Loetz and Pallme-Konig pieces, and it is often difficult to be certain - but this feels more like a Kralik piece to me! The bowl has an unusual double shoulder, with a smoothly rounded top section, and the lower half segmented into eight lobes. It is made of opaque white glass cased in clear, and covered on all sides with applied bright leaf green random threading running vertically. The bowl has a vertical neck and has its original metal flower frog. It has been mould-blown, so has no pontil. An almost identical piece (with no frog) can be seen on the EstateArtGlass site, about a third of the way down the page. Wilhelm Kralik and Meyr's Neffe Wilhelm Ritter von Kralik ran the firm Meyr's Neffe (literally 'Meyr's Nephew') at Winterberg in Bohemia from 1841 until his death in 1877. The glassworks were then divided between his four sons, Karl and Hugo Kralik taking over the Meyr's Neffe works. After Karl's death in 1899, his two sons Albert and Rudolph took over. Meyr's Neffe was formerly the Adolfshutte glassworks under the leadership of Josef and Johan Meyr, and was in operation from 1841 to 1922, when it was t aken over by Ludwig Moser & Sohne and re-named Karlsbad Crystalglassworks. Eddie Scheepers (see below), says that 'Meyr's Neffe was indeed a well-known and highly regarded glass factory that worked for such famous designers as Hoffman, Lobmeyer, and for Bakolowitz in Vienna .' Their production was originally very different from the pieces more commonly known as Kralik today - the applied glass pieces, often over a 'martele' or dimpled surface. These would have come from Wilhelm's other two sons, Heinrich and Johann Kralik, who took over the other half of the company. They started working as 'Wilhelm Kralik Sohn' at Eleonorenhain (Lenora), in Bohemia in 1881, and operated until 1938. They produced h and-blown studio glass, and commercial cameo glass signed 'D'Aurys' and 'Soleil'. Kralik is possibly best known for these applied glass designs, or fine threads of glass that have been picked up and fused to the object. This latter decorative style, called Peloton (meaning a grouping I believe), was patented in 1880 by Wilhelm Kralik in Bohemia . (With grateful thanks to Eddie Scheepers' and Alfredo Villanuevo's great Loetz website.) Details, condition and spec... The bowl measures around 12.5 cm/5" high, and is 14 cm/5.5" wide. It weighs 480 gms/1lb 1oz unwrapped, and I estimate the final packaged weight will be about 1100 gms. It is unmarked as Kralik pieces often were, and is in very good condition, with only a couple of tiny slivers inside the rim and no other damage that I can see - t is one internal flaw on the rim, between the layers of glass, hence made during manufacture, and obviously unnoticeable beneath the metal frog (see photos below).

This gorgeous art nouveau rose bowl has random bright green threading running wildly all over, and is a delight to ...
