Fachschule Haida Vase, attr. Emanuel Josef Margold Wiener Werkstatte c1911

  
This being the case the values attached to said items because of their rarity are quite robust. This vase, being a known and quite an early piece of Margold's work c1911, displaying a technique known as "Schwarzlot" (German, "black lead") A sepia enamel first used in painting stained glass and later applied to glass vessels, either by itself or in combination with other enamels or gold. In Margold's case the Schwarzlot was achieved by firing Iron ore at a high temperature and reducing it to a fine powder which could be liquidised and used to apply like a enamel paint before firing again. There is no exception to the rule when it comes to today's current value.

This very rare vase does carry and have a minor flaw to its extreme base edge please see photos, but you would need to physically pick the vase up and examine it closely to see it.
