Art Nouveau Kralik glass vase in perfect condition. Blown and hand-shaped purple glass vase with an iridescent surface from the first decades of the 20th century. The iridescent (from the Greek word "rainbow") layer creates a play of light with a metallic effect on the surface. The most common way to create it is to vaporize metal oxides onto the surface of the object. The glass vase features the characteristic decorative elements of Art Nouveau, with hand-painted silver flower garland ornamentation. A glass ornament with a special appearance and exciting color effect. Unique and very desirable collectible vase from a prestige private collection.
