Description

Kralik Bohemian Art Glass Vase
Art Deco or Art Nouveau Style
Swirled Pattern with Amber and Purple - Mild Iridescence
Polished Pontil
This wonderful Kralik vase was purchased at a local estate sale several years ago.  It has a polished pontil and a mild iridescence of flame blue, violet and gold when you shine a light on it.  Otherwise it mostly shows amber and purple colors.  It dates to the early 1900's.  It is 10 inches tall.  The base is 3¾ inches diameter.  Note that when you click on one of the pictures, you can click again for a larger more detailed size.  We tried to attach good pics including some that show the iridescence colors. There are no chips or cracks or any other damage. If you have any questions, we will gladly respond.  We are not art glass experts but we have done quite a lot of research on this piece and someone who knows this maker has taken a look at it.  As a side note, we will plan to double box this piece in order to ship it and we are familiar with shipping glass safely.
PLEASE NOTE:  PAYPAL IS THE ONLY PAYMENT METHOD WE ACCEPT
Check out our store and other auctions for more great items.  Most of our store items will have the BEST OFFER option.  Small dollar items are included in case you are combining more than one item.  On single items below value, we will not be able to do much if anything to reduce the price.  Please, if you have questions, ask them BEFORE you make your offer and not in the message part of the offer!  All offers are responded to as quickly as possible.  When making an offer, take a look at all our listings as we can deal better on selling more than one item together.
NOTE
:  With the new shipping rates, be sure to read all the information on shipping below so you will know our policies about combining shipping.  We work hard at trying to keep shipping as low as possible. Insurance will be provided on all breakable items and most other items.  We also will continue to provide free delivery confirmation.
THE FINE PRINT:
We strive very hard to list quality antiques and collectibles on our eBay listings.  We also strive to give you the best description and pictures we can so you can make informed purchases.  Please read the descriptions and look at all the pictures.  Any known flaws, however minor, will be pointed out.  We want our customers to be happy and you can tell by our feedback that we work hard at that job.  We pack well and all items come from a smoke free home.  Expect all items to be clean unless noted in the description for some reason.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE SALE
You will receive an invoice as soon as possible after the listing closes giving you all the information you need to make a payment.  Effective October 20, 2008, we accept ONLY PAYPAL as our method of payment.  We ship the best method available and in some cases will offer a choice.  We ship MOST items by Priority Mail.  Textiles may ship First Class if the weight is under 13 oz.  If you buy more than one piece and the weight goes over 13 oz, priority mail is used.  Your invoice will tell you what methods of shipping available.  Your item will be packed and shipped with care and we will try to keep the cost as low as possible without jeopardizing your item’s safety.  Insurance is included in the shipping price and delivery confirmation is provided free of charge.
LARGE ITEMS AND COMBINED SHIPPING:
The newest postage regulations are going to make shipping large items and combining items challenging but we are going to try to streamline it for our customers.  Any package over 1 cubic foot may be subject to higher postage depending on the zone to which they are shipped and the size.  We live in Zone 4 and if we are shipping to Zone 4, this is not much of an issue.   We will use available tools from eBay and USPS to figure this on each invoice.  Our intent is to charge actual shipping so if the estimated amount is more than the actual charge when the item is shipped, a refund will be issued to the buyer.
We will combine successful auctions for shipping purposes unless the items are too numerous or large to put in one box safely.  Again, larger boxes can cause shipping to go higher and there may be times when it is cheaper to ship multiple large items in their own box rather than trying to combine them in one large box.  We will use the option most beneficial to the customer.
If you are buying one item, the postage should be figured and entered so you do not have to wait for our invoice if you prefer to pay for it quickly.  If you need items combined, you should wait for our invoice which will have shipping figured at the most economical level.  Occasionally, someone will just pay all the shipping costs without asking for a combined amount.  If you choose to do that, we will refund any overage that has been paid by a Paypal refund.
Also note
that textiles may be shipped in padded envelopes but in some cases, based on weight and thickness, that envelope may be treated by the post office as a package and therefore the postage will be more expensive because it does not meet the requirements for a flat envelope.  Again, we will try to pack it the most economical way for the buyer but we have no control over USPS rules or rates.
SORRY BUT WE NO LONGER DO INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS.
