Collector’s Notes

Yellow-and-white spatter glass with enameled decoration appears in documented Franz Welz production, including examples identified as variegated lemon yellow and white spatter glass with enamelled decoration. Because this vase is unmarked, it is safest to list it as Franz Welz attributed rather than signed or confirmed. Comparable market examples show similar yellow Bohemian spatter vases with floral enamel decoration offered as late 19th- to early 20th-century pieces.
