Description
Antique Kralik pair of mirror-image vases: double-tubes with thorns and applied flowers. The flower-head appears to be blue, but is is clear. The blueing effect comes from the relative thickness of glass.Excellent antique condition. There are a couple of chips on one of the vases - two chips on the petals of the foot. The largest one is shown in the last picture. The smaller one is difficult to photograph, but it can be felt. There may be micro chipping that I did not detect, but not for the lack of trying. There are no hard-water stains inside the vases, but there is a tiny dust accumulation in the tube bend on the bottom. Once it gets there, there is no way of 'flushing' it out with water, because water-bubbles originate at the bottom 'bend' due to the shape. One of the four tubes has a small diamond cut below the edge - a manufacturing defect.
