Marigold

No name was given to this vase by Inwald and so we named it for the city in which the first example was reported - Prague. 

The vase, featuring a simple linear cross pattern, was illustrated in catalogues of Inwald's glass in the 1920s. 

Only a handful of examples are currently known. 

The catalogue illustration of the vase shows a slightly bulbous form with two different top shapings-flared and incurved. However a further shape is known whereby the vase sides are not bulbous, but are straight with a very slight outward curve at the top.

Photos of the Prague vase are courtesy of J. Flote.
