AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Made of blown glass with an iridescent finish that produces a splendid mother-of-pearl effect and multicolored reflections, mainly in tones of yellow, green and purple, depending on the angle of the light.
The vase has a flared base that tapers into a sinuous neck, topped by a shaped and slightly undulating opening. The distinctive element is the central section of the neck, decorated with a wrapping application of raised thread glass, creating a serpentine or twisted motif with a contrasting green-violet coloration. This organic, fluid design is typical of the Art Nouveau style.

Objects with these characteristics are commonly attributed to Bohemian glassworks such as Wilhelm Kralik & Sohn or Johann Loetz Witwe, who were renowned for their techniques of producing iridescent art glass and applied decorations. Often the signature is not present, and attribution is based on period catalogs or comparisons with documented pieces.

Excellent condition.
