# 149. Vase, 10 " tall. Round raised factory mark, c.1902. We call this the "rotten cheese glaze". A mottled cream globular glaze with burnt "hot spots" "erupting" around the vase. This vase looks American but for the band of Secession gilt and orange painted decorations surrounding the lip. About 3" of edge repair around the foot. Factory form number: " ?024": either a "6" or a "7". This type of glaze is very uncommon for Zsolnay and borders on experimental. We know of only a couple of other examples. Price: $3,500.00.
