Millefiori vase in Tango-orange glass • circle of Kralik • Bohemia • ca. 1920–1938 Tumbler vase on a trumpet foot in Tango-orange glass, the upper half speckled with pulled millefiori. Unnoticed; the decor is of the Kralik-type, the form is not listed among the documented Kralik shapes. A Bohemian goblet vase in Tango-orange glass, from the Kralik circle, ca. 1920-1938. On the upper half there are murrine slices with a dark core and a pink and white ring. When the form is stretched, they are elongated into flames that run from the shoulder to the stem. The lower half remains a flat, orange and glossy. In one glance: Material: opaque orange glass with millefiori, free-blown Dimensions: h 20 x diameter 8.5 cm Weight: 305 grams Brand: unobtrusive Dating: ca. 1920–1938 Provenance: from a collection; probably manufactured in Bohemia Description and context: A broad trumpet foot carries a slender stem, above which the vase widens into a conical body with a pinched shoulder and a flat-faceted mouth. The murrine are slices from assembled glass rods. They are incorporated into the hot glass and then pulled with the form. This creates a motion from top to bottom, like a flame descending. After World War I, Kralik in Eleonorhain produced a series of millefiori decors on colored ground; this decor belongs to that type. Condition: Good vintage. Inner rim: minimal signs of use. Foot: light wear scratches on the contact surface. A few small dark inclusions in the foot are part of hand-blown glass and are not damage. No chips, hairlines, or restorations. Complete. See the photos. In the interior: A vivid color accent on a windowsill or sideboard. In backlighting, the orange glows, and the pink flames are sharply defined. Suits Art Deco, mid-century, and eclectic styles. Shipping: Professionally packed in a sturdy box with cushioning material, for fragile objects a double box. Always shipped insured with Track and Trace. See feedback from previous buyers. Attribution and sources: Kring of Kralik. The technique and decor correspond to Kralik millefiori on orange ground in the decor index of kralik-glass.com; the form is not documented there, hence no full attribution. Wellz and Steinwald are ruled out: they worked with spat glass without incised murrine. The name Clichy is excluded, since that factory closed in 1885.
