A pair of Bohemain 'Annagrun' cut glass vases, second half 19th century

Of campana or thistle shape, the scalloped 'turn-over' rims cut with panels of mitre-diamonds, the flared necks cut with broad vertical flutes above bands of leaf-shaped motifs, on hexagonal stems with hobnail-cut knops and spreading scalloped feet, 23cm high (2)

Footnotes

Josef Riedl is said to have named this so-called Uranium glass in honour of his wife Anna, calling it Annagrun and Annagelb. Similar colours were subsequently made by other glassworks and safer substitutes were developed to replace the lethal uranium oxide.
