RARE Bohemian KRALIK Amethyst Quilted Diamond Optic ART DECO Glass WINGS Vase

Description

Up for your consideration is a Rare
Wilhelm KRALIK Sohne Art Deco glass vase. Starting around 1928 the Butler Brothers began importing a new line of "less expensive" blown glass produced by Kralik to the US. Most pieces were of an optic pattern, such as Ribs, Chevron, and Diamond. Also the majority of pieces found are of a pinkish red, or cranberry colored glass with dark blue applied rigoree and are smaller in general than this vase. I have researched this piece and until recently have not found another. The other example is on Ebay. It is of the Pink color, with Chevron Optic and has purple wings. It also has additional applied Prunts. Larger pieces in colors other than the pink are very scarce, and I have not found another in this light Amethyst Color. Clear applied rigoree is also very uncommon.
This color of this glass does vary a bit depending on type and intensity of lighting. The first photo does show its truest color in normal, non direct lighting. Please note that the last 2 photos depict the shape of this vase in distorted
proportions
. It is in excellent vintage/Antique condition with no damage. The rim is cut, ground, and slightly beveled and has no fleabites. Vase stands 9-3/4" tall and between 3"-4" approx. at widest.
This has been in my personal collection for 2 years.
