    Description

    This is a gorgeous pair of art glass vases from my grandmother's endless treasure trove.
    I believe that these are by Kralik, based on the design and because my grandmother was a big collector of Kralik glass.
    These are really impressive vases. The flowers are both textured and variegated in varied shades of pink. The detail on the blooms is breathtaking. Each flower, its stem and leaves look to be lightly resting against the vase surface. It is amazing.
    These vases are in very good condition for their age. Defects are as follows -
    One vase has a chip on the lower part of one side, away from the decorative applied flower design. It is not on the "front" of the piece, and I only found it when I was wiping down the vase. Please see photos. The top edge/mouth is intact except for a slight nick in the inside edge, which I found by running my fingernail over it. I can find no other major issues with this vase. See photos.
    The other vase has no major issues, other than a couple of slight nicks on the top rim, which, again I found by running my fingernail along the edge.
    Please note that the applied floral designs look and feel intact to me. I can't find any evidence that either has sustained damage, but some of the edges of the design, for example, at the bottom of the stem near the base, are sharper than others and I don't know if that is original to the design.
    The vases measure approximately
    10" high
    3.25" wide at mouth
    4.5" wide at widest point
    3.5" wide at base
    Please note that some of the photographs show one of the pair with a sticker on it. I removed this sticker, which only read "set of 2", to make sure that there was no damage beneath. My grandmother never removed the sticker because she never displayed these. She purchased them and packed them away. She was like that:)
    Please do not hesitate to contact me for more photos or with questions.
