RARE Ikora Art Glass Crystal Bowl By Karl Weidmann

WMF, or Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, was a German company founded in 1853, renowned for its metal and glasswork. In the 1920s, WMF introduced the Ikora line of art glass, characterized by unique and experimental decorative techniques. These techniques often involved trapping air bubbles, metallic oxides, and other materials within layers of glass to create stunning visual effects. Karl Wiedmann was a prominent designer at WMF during the Art Deco period, and his designs for Ikora glass are highly sought after by collectors. Ikora glass bowls, like the one in the image, showcase the innovative spirit and artistic craftsmanship of the era. These pieces are celebrated for their vibrant colors, abstract patterns, and the sense of depth and movement created within the glass.
