Bohemian Nouveau Secessionist Iridescent Pallme-Konig Kralik Style Art Glass I just purchased this Art Nouveau style iridescent glass vase from a local estate here in Central Virginia. The vase has a striking look characteristic of the Secessionist designs produced by a number of factories in Bohemia during the first quarter of the 20th century (similar designs were produced on a more limited scale in the US). The vase had a paper tag from the previous owners attributing it to Pallme-Konig, but this d�cor and form are not typical of P-K. I wasn't able to find the same d�cor in the Kralik or Rindskopf pages of and (please let me know if you can make a definitive attribution.) The vase shows an appropriate amount of fine contact wear on the underside foot ring for a vintage piece, I don't believe this is a "contemporary" studio piece. The vase has a striking design with fine feathering to the deep ruby ground. The surface is highlighted with bands of mottled blue / green frit veining. The piece is finished in a rich iridescent finish covering the interior and exterior surfaces. The vase measures 5 7/8" high, 6" in diameter and 5" across the top rim opening. The base has a ground circular pontil mark. The vase is in excellent condition with no damage. The surface is in great shape with the only wear being a narrow, light ring on the interior 1" up from the base (possibly from an arranger). This unique red mottled design would make a nice addition to any collection of Nouveau / Secessionist inspired art glass. International bidders, please contact me prior to bidding to discuss shipping options. Ebay policies require sellers to provide tracking information which is offered on USPS Priority Mail International and Exprss Mail International. USPS First Class Mail International does not offer tracking or insurance. Successful US bidders, please see that I offer both USPS Parcel Select and Priority Mail as shipping options. Because of the lower price, I have placed Parcel Select as the first option on the eBay invoice. In many cases the cost difference between Parcel Select and Priority Mail is only a few cents. Recently, the shipping times for USPS Parcel Select have been significantly over their estimates. If you are concerned about turn around time, please choose the Priority Mail option. Payment must be received within three days following the close of the auction. Ebay has established a policy which requires payment via PayPal, direct credit card or cash at pick-up.
