Featured Thrift find today - small (5.5") purple vase with nudes around it

I found this beautiful purple vase with nudes around it today at a thrift store. It looks like one I had before that I posted here but smaller.
It has a sticker on the bottom but I'm not sure what the initials are (Ja S?)- has anyone seen this vase before?
Was it a good find (it was 1/2 price today - $49.95)?
Thank you!

 

Think it's Lalique-inspired.

Once upon a time I sold a small malachite glass vase. I did as much research as I could. Mine was marked Czechoslovakia and I believe was malachite glass in the grape harvest Ingrid pattern designed by Curt Schlevogt in the 1930s.

Later versions were made by other companies in different colors of glass.





I type too slowly

 

@journeymagazine, ABSOLUTELY LOVIN' THAT COLOR!!!!!!!!!

 

That's it - glad I didn't pay the $99 price yesterday when I first saw it!
Thank you - and thank you Debora!

 

maybe....
but u add pics and context.......

 

$99 MIGHT not be bad - it looks like it has the potential to be neodymium alexandtrite glass - thus it changes colors from the purple to an ice blue when subjected to incandescent light.... the new "repro" pieces in vaseline neodymiun and malachite usually bring a premium price....

 

One heck of a nice newer piece.Many Lalique homages out there.

 

I believe your vase is new. It probably does change color, and are being made in th czech republic from old molds (I believe). The still sell direct from the CR.

The description at Kronos' link says it will glow uranium green under a black light. Do you have a black light to see what happens?

 

If the purple one turns blue in fluorescent light...dingdingding! If it's neodymium it won't, best as I know, react to blacklight. But if it changes colors who cares?

 

I am waiting with bated breath to find out which it is!

 

I'm going to have to buy a black light bulb tomorrow ...now where can I find one - Wal-Mart?

 

Journey, can you find a true FLORESCENT bulb, or florescent tube? That's what you need to test to see if it turns blue for neodymium.

 

Good old old-school tube.

 

A cat pee detecting flashlight works, too. And they are portable for when you are out and about.

@journeymagazine
Did you try the neodymium/alexandrite test between natural light and fluorescent light yet?
