A stunning, and extremely heavy, cut crystal vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), designed by Jean Sala for the St Louis glassworks. In a classic Art Deco design, the body is of four diminishing conical tiers, with eleven deep vertical cuts running right up the sides, on a heavy square-cut foot. Jean Sala was one of St Louis' leading designers, who eventually became director of the glassworks during Wordl War II. According to Carolus Hartmann's Glasmarken Lexicon, 1600-1945, the acid-etched mark (below) was used in about 1931

An iridescent Myra Kristal vase (Ann's favourite glass - shown rather smaller than life-sized) by W.M.F. (the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik if you want that in full!)
