Description: LARGE, RARE VINTAGE BAUHAUS GERMAN ART DECO WMF IKORA ZEPPELIN SHAPED VASE WMF Ikora silver plated and black enamel vase. Black stripes in the decor are enamel. You can find this piece in a WMF Ikora catalog dated about 1934. Signed with the manufacturer's mark (tower mark) and Ikora Silverplate Germany. In fair but used condition. Some abrasions on the surface commensurate with age and use along with slight dent in rim. Please see photos. From my opinion with the aging may affect value, it does not affect how cool it looks and it may enhance it.
