Featured Kralik KNUCKLE Vase/Bowl,Circa 1930

Hello Members.
I have this Kralik Knuckle Vase/Bowl for few month now, i love the colourful spatter(picture 1) on this one, in addition this bowl have a nice solid Orange glass inner layer(picture 2).
I recently made a good friend glass collector, he decided to downsize his collection, i was at right place at the good time, i guess, since we start this friendship, I acquire many nice piece of Bohemian Glass from him, this is one of them.
This Knuckle bowl have a nice semi circular Mark at the base(picture 3), typical from Kralik piece "Czechoslovakia"
This Bowl stand 5.50 inch tall, 5.25 inch by 6 inch at the top rim, on a 3 inch base.
I hope you enjoy.

 

Hi Alain,
Why is it called a 'knuckle' bowl?

 

@lauragarnet, I believe this is because of the shape of the Bowl, very particular to Bohemian Glass.
If you Google, Knuckle Bohemian Glass bowl, you will see the first 2 row, they have all strange shape....
But, i will comeback to you, now you got me in this, i will ask a good friend of mine with more experiance, just curious to know for sure.

 

Yes, me too. I immediately think hexagon, but knuckle has me scratching my head.

 

I was wondering too. Love the posts on your beautiful art glass. (wiping drool)

 

So pretty.

 

It's a gorgeous piece. I'm enjoying seeing photos of these glass treasures! Thanks.

 

I'm just going to toss out my .02 cents worth here. I don't think this falls into the "Knuckle Vase" category. Kralik Compote or Vase, yes.
Here is an image of a Kralik Knuckle piece. You can see the distinct knuckles (bumps) down each ridge.

 

@Desparate_fun, thank you for the teaching, much appreciated.

 

Alain,

No problem. Some of these shapes and decors are overwhelming.

 

@desperate_fun, oh yeah, I have one, maybe will post tonight, this one have a metal holder, I will love your thought on it, if you don't mind.
Thanks again

 

@Lucille.b , my pleasure here, many thanks for the kind comments.

 

Alain,

Feel free to post. My knowledge is limited but you never know.
