Bakalowits söhne and was most likely developed in the course of the collaboration between the “school of prof. Kolo moser” and e. Bakalowits söhne.the design of this vase shows remarkable parallels to works of koloman moser himself. The vase represents an interesting interplay between form and effect. Despite its compactness, this object has a breath-taking presence. The harmony is created by a clever trick: the height corresponds almost exactly to the diameter, which evokes a balanced appearance in the eye of the beholder. The elongated mouth of the vase is supported by three attached wing-like handles. On this generous surface, dominated by the brown-violet overlay, the light iridescence reveals its full brilliance.
