Featured Lovely little vase

I’ve loved this since I was a child. I believe it was a wedding present to my grandparents. It was one of the first things I packed!

I don’t know anything else about it aside from the fact that it must be from [edited to add] very early in 1940 or before that, most likely 1939. See wedding announcement here: https://www.nytimes.com/1939/11/23/...nwich-girl-wed-to-gerard-tobin-in-church.html

And that it needs a wash.

 

I would venture to say Bohemian Glass. Possibly Loetz or Kralik. Someone more knowledgeable than I, will pop in later I'm certain

 

I 2nd Bohemian and it is gorgeous !

 

I'd say late 19th Bohemian.

 

I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes it! Nobody else in the family wanted it, and I never understood why. Aside from the fact that it is scary to think of putting it in a dishwasher.

It has been something of a family joke, the gist of which is that because I like it, it’s probably Tiffany - unless there’s something more expensive

I would love to know, but I love it no matter what.

 

You could try wading through this site to try and ID it:

I think you have a Kralik 'crocus' decor vase, very nice.

From the Kralik site that Marie linked to above:

Yay! I think you’re right! Thanks!

 

She's a beauty!

 

And deserves hand washing!

 

I agree with @judy.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THAT VASE IN THE DISHWASHER!!

Warm water & mild liquid dish soap is what you need along with a soft rag. Rinse with warm water & dry thoroughly immediately afterward.

 

Oh, my, it's yummy!

 

You are so right. That is exactly how it should be done. Some things are just worth hand washing. Putting this little darling in the dishwasher would be like washing a cashmere sweater in a washing machine on hot, then putting it in the dryer!

 

When i am selling glass or pottery I tell they buyer, if it was made before dishwashers or microwaves, it doesn't go in either! If they have a problem with that, that's OK with me, I gently tell them they probably shouldn't buy it.

I would rather keep it!

 

You can put some stuff in a dishwasher, it's surprising. Jasperware for example. And an expert on Chinese ceramics here puts 17th C bowls in!
