Circa 1890 Kralik Iridescent Jugendstil Art Nouveau Bowl In Metal Mount
This is a very fine example of Jugendstil Period art glass from the Art Nouveau Era. It is an exceptional iridescent Kralik bowl in the original metal armature. The Kralik glassworks, full name Wilhelm Kralik Sohne, was originally founded by Josef Meyr in 1815, in Bohemia. The factory was originally called Adolfshutte. When Josef died, his son Jan took over the company. By this time, the company owned 4 glass factories. Jan died in 1841, and his two nephews Josef Taschek and Wilhelm Kralik became the owners. The company name was changed to J. Meyr's Neffen, and when Josef died in 1862, the name changed to J. Meyr's Neffe. Wilhelm Kralik died in 1877, and left the company to his 4 sons. The company was split in two - Heinrich + Johann took the name Wilhelm Kralik Sohne, Hugo + Karl used the name Meyr's Neffe. Meyr's Neffe merged with Moser in 1922. Wilhelm Kralik Sohne continued to produce glassware until World War II. This bowl is a stunning example of the quality craftsmanship of the period. It stands 10 1/2 inches tall and the bowl is 10 inches wide. It is in excellent original condition with damage or repairs. This beautiful example of an elegant bygone era shimmers and comes alive in the light. A true example of the quality workmanship from the Art Nouveau Era.
