A Loetz Ciselé vase, the clear, optic-ribbed body speckled with green, with overall iridescence. The shape is in the style of designs by Dr Christopher Dresser, usually made for the London importer Max Emanuel. The pontil is ground and polished (right)

An early 20th Century Bohemian gilded and transmalerei enamelled lidded pot, decorated in an almost Islamic style. There is a shallow chip to the underside of the rim of the lid (shown in the detail at right) which could easily be ground out if required, and is more than reflected in the low asking price

A slab-cut crystal Art Deco scent-bottle on a cruciform base, most probably Czechoslovakian. Stylistically, there is no doubt that the design dates from about the 1920s or 1930s, but whether it was actually made then or later, we really can't say for certain
| Our reference: | 8923 | Date: | probably 1930s |

A superb, vibrantly-coloured pre-War Monart vase. The shape is IJ (which is a fairly rare one), the orange and yellow marbled body shading up to patches of green, brown and blue, with heavy use of aventurine particles. The vase has the normal Monart applied foot with matching coloured spatters
| Our reference: | 8915 | Date: | c 1930 |

Pretty certainly Czechoslovakian, this vase, cased clear over orange and acid-matted, has been exquisitely hand-enamelled with blackberries, so that it almost resembles cameo glass. We had a smaller version a few years ago with an equally vibrant red body, with identical enamelling, and I haven't seen another since. If anyone thinks they know who decorated this, we'd love to hear from them!

A delightful set of four wine-bottle coasters by WMF. The frosted glass bases are humorously hand-enamelled with a cockerel, a monkey popping the cork of a champagne bottle, a rabbit (or hare?), and a duck. The pierced galleries are of silver-plated brass, each one impressed WMF, EP and I/O (centre left, bottom row). One has an additional as mark (centre right, bottom row). The coasters are in generally good condition, but the silver plate is fairly worn in places, and there is one crack in the gallery of the 'monkey' coaster (arrowed in the detail, bottom row, right)

A handsome Ikora glas lamp-base by WMF, in marbled red, black & yellow glass, with applied foot, from the late 1920s. The base bears a faded paper label, numbered '120/3373' - probably the retailer's stock number
The rim of the applied foot has shallow chipping in two places (see detail at lower right), which could be ground and polished out if required. The very low asking price more than allows for the cost of such a repair
Please note: We have temporarily wired the lamp in order to demonstrate it when lit internally. However, under currrent UK Health & Safety regulations, it would be illegal to sell it pre-wired, so we are obliged to disconnect it before despatch. For a small fee, any qualified electrician will re-wire it for use. The lamp would originally have had a 4-way switch, so that it could be seen with (a) both bulbs lit, (b) the main bulb lit only, (c) the internal bulb lit only, (d) neither bulb lit

An elegant Kralik iridescent vase, the olive-green body dip-moulded with a reticulated pattern, the rim ground flat and polished, and with applied 'bronze' glass rustic feet
Because of the uneven surface of the body, one of the applied upward 'tadpoles' has adhered less well along its length than the other two (arrowed in the detail at right). While this could be regarded as a slight imperfection, it cannot be considered as damage
