Kralik Aquagold Bohemian glass vase, c. 1900–1905, blown glass with a bulbous body and cylindrical neck, height 20 cm, maximum width 13 cm, mouth diameter 6.5 cm, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
Kralik – “Aquagold” Model – Art Nouveau Urn Vase – Bohemia, circa 1900–1905
Elegant hand-blown glass vase with a bulbous body and a stylized cylindrical neck.
Executed in intense green tones with a characteristic wavy veining in yellowish and blueish hues that run vertically across the surface, creating a dynamic fluid effect. It features notable iridescence with electric blue reflections and golden flashes, especially visible in the lower zone.
The decoration corresponds to the “Aquagold” model, a characteristic production of the Kralik glassworks, one of Bohemian manufactures most innovative in the realm of iridescent glass at the turn of the 20th century. This type of finish, with a marbled effect and chromatic vibration, is representative of the organic language of Central European Art Nouveau.
Era
Circa 1900–1905.
Dimensions
Height: 20 cm
Maximum width: approx. 13 cm
Mouth diameter: 6.5 cm
Condition
Very good overall condition for its age. No visible chips or restorations.
