The smooth, finished mold seams reported on this pair are consistent with early Czech pressed-glass finishing practices and support this attribution.  The high-relief fish details have been fire polished to a gloss as highlights. Related molds remained in use after the war; the dating is an informed attribution rather than a confirmed production date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Josef Inwald \/ Barolac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67582751735982,"sku":"2026000049-KAKHW","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9885\/6622\/files\/exec-94f867f9-6615-4ad3-91a3-6288cc37ca0b.png?v=1792888311","url":"https:\/\/www.thegatherandgrace.co\/products\/pair-of-josef-inwald-barolac-satin-glass-koi-fish-seahorse-vases","provider":"Gather \u0026 Grace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
