Lot consists of a glass vase and a glass bowl in the manner of Pallme-König. Among the glass produced in the Czechoslovakian Art Nouveau period perhaps the most distinctive, and imitated by others more often, is that of the firm Pallme-König. In 1888, Josef and Theodor Pallme-König founded their glass factory, under the name Elizabethhütte, in honor of his mother. Although this was always the official name, the factory is better known as Pallme-König. Around 1900, Wilhelm Hable, co-owner of the factory, patented the technique that will make them famous, and that can be seen in this vase. It is a process to produce glass decorated on its surface in a special way, based on glass threads surrounding the piece. This technique was eventually known as spun glass, and was commonly used in virtually all Bohemian modernist glass factories, such as Loetz or Kralik. The personal mark of Pallme-König production is based on the maximum exploitation of the possibilities of glass, its viscosity. Pallme-König pieces are preserved in major museums specializing in modernism as the Brohan in Berlin, Passau, also in Germany, or the Corning in the United States.
