Thanks, JanetteKay and Cheryl! ~Much appreciated,

Gary, you're a trip!! lol TY, & glad you think so. lol I'll have to add the Blue Acanthus as well.

 

Leah,

Is that the Blue Acanthus that was posted on Facebook? (Art Glass Collectors Group)

If so, post it. It is a really nice piece.

 

Hi Leah,
Wow, absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing!
That is good information that the Kralik Glass catalogue is available through the West Virginia Museum of American Glass - I'll have to check out cherryhill's listings.

Ditto that.

 

To anyone interested in purchasing the kralik catalogue or other great glass reference material, here is the link to the West Virginia Glass Museum on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/wvglassmuse...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

 

Wonderful photos and collection! Thank you so much for sharing Leah.

I passed up a Kralik Seashell last year and still kicking myself.

 

Hey D-Fun! Indeed it is. Good eye! Gary sent the Acanthus to me last week, as a thank you gift for finding a pair of super duper rare Victorian Loetz "Octopus" vases.

Thanks, CXgirly-girl for posting the WVMOAG link!

Thank you, SKCCOAST for the flattering compliment. Much appreciated. I have to tell you Kralik shells do not surface often. Better luck next time!!

 

Leah, would LOVE to see your Blue Acanthus

I have 6 house kitties so one never knows who broke what, the little devils.

 

I'm drooling

 

Hey D-fun, and SOS. Your wish is my command. SOS, must warn you... this pic is certainly not kitty-friendly! lol

Thanks, Bev!

 

Those Octopus Vases are incredible. I don't know that I would be able to split up the pair. Actually, I know I wouldnt LOL

 

They are fantastic. Glad you found them, Rennee. It's nice when collector's of the same interest can share, and with the Octopus vases, it was a very expensive purchase. That's why I asked Gary and it ended up over my head. Luckily, Gary found someone else split the bid. So, it's a win-win for both and a proud piece to own. There's nothing out there in Gary's example to compare so far and will be added soon to Loetz.com and Dave Littlefield's site as well. https://sites.google.com/site/loetzglass/

 

I have both those websites open at all time

Here is that Teardrop piece

 

That is so cool, desperate_fun! Looks like one of those Eggerton photos.

 

Rennee! Its lovely as ever. Def. Kralik. Love MOP pieces. I too have many windows open too. Maybe I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on something fab.?! lol

 

Beautiful piece Leah, and yes, not kitty friendly at all

 

I have just inherited, I believe, a Kralik Shell (Cornucopia) Iridescent Green vase. Trying to find information and value for insurance purposes. Tried to upload a picture, but file size is too large. Ok resized and added it to the post.

 

Welcome, Stephen!

Can you resize the photo?
