Featured Kralik (I think) pitcher and glass set. Eye candy...

A neighbor asked me to come over to see if I could help identify a set of glassware he inherited from his grandmother.

I had something envisioned in my mind as to what they were going to look like, but just about fainted when I walked in and saw this set. All pieces are marked Czechoslovakia.

When I got home I searched, "Czech art glass pitcher" and immediately found two identical pitchers attributed to Kralik, if I have that much right, would this set be considered in the Bambus pattern? Incredibly he has all 8 glasses.

The clear part of the glass is an unusual pale rose color, and those cobalt stripes at the top are actually a thin layer of applied glass. The set is so modern looking in a way, incredible they are from the 20's or 30's.

He is keeping them, but thought some of you might enjoy the photos.
Thanks!

 

Drooooooooollllllllll! Those are beautiful!

 

OMG ! I envy , I envy ! Those are truly stunning .

 

Does that say, "Technoslovac.." or what?
This set is incredibly gorgeous. Love it.

 

Wow, that set is fabulous Lucille! I really like the cobalt bits at the top I think you are correct on your pattern and id - maybe @desperate_fun will see this and confirm for you

 

Hi,
I am very envious of that set. It is really gorgeous. Wiping drool off my lips as I apply whips to my shoulders.

Stunning! Beautiful photography too.

 

Most definitely Kralik. A very nice set as well. I have no idea what the decor is but I'll see if I can find out for you. (Bambus is slightly different)

 

I have cross posted a couple of the pics to get confirmation as well as a decor. It may be "Flame" or "Corded Flame" (I'm just guessing do not quote me on it LOL)

 

OMGosh...absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

As a side note for @antidiem

It does read Czechoslovakia, but there are Kralik pieces marked with Tchecoslovaquie (The French spelling)

 

Oh my those are stunning! I wonder if the reason they still have all the pieces is that they were afraid to actually use them. I'd just stare at them all day

 

Oh gosh these sold for $110 in 2012. Wish I'd seen that.

This is what I know for sure. It is Kralik. It really doesn't have a decor. We do know, it is threaded. There is a Decor that is similar and it is "Kralik Spiral"

There is a piece of "Kralik Spiral with a flame" but flame is a pulled solid colour.

Long story short, no decor name but you wouldn't be wrong calling this

"Kralik - Spiral with a feathered flame"

Hopefully this name will get adopted

As a side note, these pieces are probably UV reactive.

 

I'll pass along some of this info, thanks to all for taking a look.

Desperate, by "UV reactive" do you mean it would glow under UV light? I also appreciate the description "Kralik - Spiral with a feathered flame" which should be what it is called and could catch on. Thank you for the help.

Although condition is very good, there are a few issues. The cobalt applied spiral at the very top on a few of the glasses is spotty near the rim on 3 of the 8 glasses. At first I thought these were chips, but ran my finger around the rim (perfect), its just the spiral that has come off. However it sort of presents like a chip at first glance, with some roughness (although on the outside) because it is near the rim.

These were kept in a cabinet all these years. I think my neighbor would like to use on a daily basis, them rather than just look at them.

(Also, SIS, amazed that was a closing price on those. I would have thought a few $100 more.)

Just so everyone can spit out their coffee, my neighbor was going to put the glasses in the dishwasher. When I heard that, I blurted out (sexist as it may have sounded) "OMG did your wife stop you?!"

Turns out the wife did stop him.

I do appreciate the desire to actually use something like this on a daily basis, though can't say that I would.

 

OMG, I almost healed at the screen - NO DISHWASHER!!!!

I sell a fair amount of vintage glasses at antique shows and the flea market and I always tell the buyer "Do not put these in the dishwasher!" I would rather lose a sale then let them think it would be OK.

 

@Lucille.b

Yes, they should glow a bit under UV Light.

I'm glad I could help.

 

Good for you, Marie Forjan.

 

Beautiful!
