Art Nouveau Kralik Iridescent Glass Vase c.1905
A beautiful example of early 20th-century Bohemian art glass, attributed to Wilhelm Kralik & Söhne, one of the most innovative glassworks of the Art Nouveau period.
This small but striking vase features a mould-blown ribbed body with a rich green ground and vibrant iridescent finish that shifts through gold, pink and rainbow tones in the light. The rim is finished with a softly crimped yellow glass collar, from which two elegant applied handles sweep down the sides, giving the piece a wonderfully organic Art Nouveau form.
Pieces like this were produced in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) around 1900–1910, when Kralik was experimenting with iridescent finishes inspired by the naturalistic design movement of the period.
