Pallme-König Art Nouveau Vase - Iridescent Glass ca. 1900

Pallme-König Art Nouveau Vase - Iridescent Glass ca. 1900

The Pallme-König glassworks was first established in Steinschonau, Austria, in approximately 1786 by Ignaz Pallme-König. 

During the Art Nouveau period, this glass company produced high quality iridized glass. Hot glass trails were wound around the iridized glass forming a network, and the piece was then blown into a mold so that the trails were pressed into the glass.

Pallme-König vases often have cuts at the top and pieces folded down in a way which emphasis the once-molten nature of the glass.

Pallme-König and Habel glass is not usually signed, and does not normally have a pontil mark. The whole vase, with its molten trails on the surface, was normally blown into a mold and then finished from the top. 

This beautiful vase is a rare gem often aftersought by collectors of period glass, especially of the Art Nouveau period.
