KRALIK, URANIUM, APPLIED COBALT SPIRAL THREADED COMPOTE VASE, PINK HUE~~~

Description

For auction is a lovely piece of art glass made by Wilhelm Kralik Sohn of Eleonorenhain Bohmen (Bohemia). This is now the modern day "Czech Republic". The vase is a hexagon shaped compote and measures approximately 4" tall, 4 3/8" wide on the flat sides and 5 1/8" in diameter across its widest point. The foot or bottom of the compote measures 3 3/16" in diameter.
The vase displays a lovely cobalt blue spiral thread or ribbon applied in a horizontal fashion. The wave or ribbon of glass starts at the top lip and wraps around the vessel running horizontally at an angle all the way around and under the bottom. There are 16 rows of these decorating the piece from the top to very bottom underside foot. The base glass is uranium and it glows under a black light however instead of the typical Vaseline hue, there is a subtle pink amethyst glow to the clear glass. When you handle the glass it also has a Vaseline glass feel to it. There are a few small air bubbles in the foot that gives this vase that added sparkle. This is a very exciting piece of Art glass.
This compote vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no chips, cracks, nicks or dings. The vase wiggles when touched as the bottom is not perfectly flat and has that hand blown appearance. There are some concentrated surface scratches in one area on the bottom of the vase.  These scratches do not show when properly displayed and do not take away from the value. The piece has a counter sunk Polished Pontil, the mark of quality piece of art glass. This was synonymous with their American contemporaries Tiffany Favrile, Steuben Aurene and Quezal. This compote vase has a scalloped rim with fire polished rolled edge to give it that quality finished appearance. The vase is unsigned but the shape and decoration can be documented at the on-line Kralik Glass website. This pattern line was simply known as "Spiral"
This compote would make lovely addition to any Art Deco or Art Nouveau art glass collection. This vase was made circa 1905-1920.

I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of this year 2020.
I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments
. Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the
merchandise
unless it is paid for.
They are also n
ow charging all sellers a commission of 11.5% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.5%. This is an increase of 8.6% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.5% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges.
If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
