Središnji sadržaj
The bulbous-shaped vase (KB-160) stands on five small feet, two of which are partially damaged at the top. The vase is pink with irregularly placed applications, and the opening is undulating and curved outward – transparent along the edges, as are the feet.
The pink bulbous vase (KB-367) stands on three transparent feet with a curly, relief decoration that undulates across the vase’s surface. It has a shallow neck and an outward-flared opening. It is well preserved, except for a shallow chip in the upper third.
There are no manufacturer’s marks on the vases, but based on other analogies, they are likely of English production and from the period between 1890 and 1910.
The first products of this glass colour (cranberry glass) were likely made in the Bohemian region in the early 18th century. They are crafted by inserting a thin layer of red or pink glass within opaque glass. The increase in its shapes and production occurred in the mid-19th century, following the abolition of glass taxes and after the First World Exhibition. Its peak in popularity was from 1870 to 1930.
