    Hello everyone.
    I have this Vase for quite a while, it's Bohemian, you will agree with me very unusual shape, the decor not so much, this beautiful early Rindskopf secessionist oil spot with a very interesting and stylist silver overlay, red glass on the inside, oil spot silver iridescent on the outside, very gorgeous gourde form(oval), nice addition to my small Silver overlay vase collection.

    The Above comment was post by me on another web site, what following it's a massive argumentation on the fact that this vase could't be Rindskopf( when the first time a new shape appear, caution are present)I think in this case, the key would be found in locating the same shape in a more easily identifiable décor.

    Now the next comment was from a well know reputed glass collector, he believe this vase could be" Rindskopf"
    Quote:
    I combed though my photo library and selected other examples of "pink papillion" to show you. Below is a collage(#4) of these photos so you can compare the similarities and differences of various Bohemian makers who produced "pink papillon". The two examples on the bottom left are Loetz. These are also documented Loetz shapes. The example on the upper row, far left is most likely "Kralik" based on the shape. The one in the center of the top row was produced by Elizabeth Hutte (aka Palme Koenig). All of the pink papillon examples that I have seen done by PK also have a few green threads added to the decoration. It's hard to tell from this photo, but this example does have the "green threads". The last two examples on the bottom right are Rindskopf.

    This vase stand 5.50 inch tall, 4 inch by 2.75 inch widest point, 2.50 inch by 2.25 inch at the base.

    Wanted to bump this up as I think this worthy of more scrutiny. Is the color in your pic true? Seems to be more pale than most similar bohemian glass.

    Yes, it's pale because it's pink, red inner layer, make it more pink

    I'd love to see that with the silver gently shined with a Sunshine cloth.

    @Ownedbybear, some will like to clean this, i understand, but i like better with the dark patina on it.
    In addition, this is very delicate to clean, could be easy rip off the overlay by using cloth.
    I really appreciated the comment.

    Totally understand, and I know what you mean about patina. Sunshine cloths are actually very suited to delicate, if you ever need to clean something gently.

    Wow - stunning! I have an attraction to Bohemian glass and jewelry, and it to me - but never come near to that at the Goodwill!
