    A Fritz Heckert iridescent vase, the radium-green body (shown under UV light at right) with four applied lion's-head prunts. Although the Heckert refinery was better known for hand-enamelled decoration, from about 1889 they did produce some plain glassware of their own. Some pieces featured these lion's-head prunts, possibly inspired by earlier Venetian glassware (the lion is the symbol of St Mark, patron saint of Venice)
