Loetz Kralik Art Glass Vases 3 Pc Austrian Gilt Dore Metal Grape Rim Optic Gourd

LOETZ / KRALIK ART GLASS VASES 3 PC AUSTRIAN GILT DORE METAL GRAPE RIM OPTIC DOUBLE GOURD PINCHED'WELLENOPTISCH / CRETE MIT FESTONS. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL 3 PIECE GARNITURE / SET OF ART NOUVEAU GLASS VASES, FEATURING A LARGER DOUBLE GOURD CENTERPIECE, MEASURING APPROX. 5 1/2" HIGH AND 4 1/2" ACROSS THE WIDEST BASE, WITH 2 SMALLER VASES.

THE 2 SMALLER PINCHED VASES MEASURE APPROX. 4" HIGH BY 4" SQUARE, AND 3 1/2" HIGH BY 3 1/2" SQUARE. THE SLIGHTLY SMALLER VASE IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DOUBLE GOURD VASE. THEY FEATURE AN OPTIC PATTERN THAT IS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN WELLENOPTISCH AND CRETE MIT FESTONS (BUT INSTEAD OF FESTONS, THE WAVEY LINES SWIRL AROUND THE VASES). ALTHOUGH I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO NARROW THE DECOR DOWN, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESEARCH IT, TO DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

EACH VASE IS TOPPED WITH A GILT METAL, GRAPE LEAF & CLUSTER RIM. THE RIMS ARE PATINATED BUT I THINK THEY COULD SUSTAIN A GENTLE CLEANING, OR LEFT AS IS. THEY ARE REMOVABLE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, EXCEPT FOR THE RIM ON THE SMALLEST VASE. THE INTERIOR RIM OF THAT VASE HAS A MINOR CHIP ON THE INSIDE EDGE.

THE GLASS ON ALL 3 VASES IS OTHERWISE EXCELLENT. EACH PIECE HAS GOLD IRIDESCENCE AND THE SET DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY.

IMAGE EACH VASE WITH A SMALL LED VOTIVE INSIDE, SET AS THE CENTERPIECE ON YOUR'FALL' DINING ROOM TABLE, OR SOFA TABLE... EVEN BETTER IF THE TABLE IS MIRRORED... 3 PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, AND REVIEW THE PHOTOS FOR DESCRIPTION.
