Antique Kralik Rose Bowl Vase Mother of Pearl Bohemia ca 1900

The overall affect of the blown molded, white iridescent glass is simply beautiful and this is a nice piece of antique art glass.

Measurements: 3 3/8" (8 cm) high at the side x 4" (10.2 cm) in diameter across the flared top x 3" (7.5cm) in diameter across the bottom.

Condition: There is a speck of black char or cinder embedded in the side and a tiny dark thread trails off from it horizontally in both directions. This is not a hairline or damage, the vase was made that way. There are 2 slightly dark areas on the underside of the rim that I mention to be thorough, but the vase was made that way and the ground rim has some small surface chips on the underside (they don't show, but you can feel them). They also appear to have been made in the finishing of the rim. There are some rubs to the iridescent finish on the outer areas of 2 lobes, but you would have to search carefully to find these, they are not readily noticeable. I have pointed this out with an arrow in one of the pictures.
