Hi scriman I love your glass. I have posted these vases twice on a Bohemian glass site and the experts there say they are Kralik.

I always bow to a greater knowledge.
One of these were on here a month or two ago and it was asked then if it was Kralik and the answer then was no but thought to be modern.
Mike Moir will give you and emphatic yes or no.

I must confess that they are not like any other pieces I have of Kralik but have seen then on a noted collctors site so ask twice of a Bohemian glass group which I think Mike possibly  is a part of . The  replies I got was that it was Kralik. They do look so shiney and new .
Ill ask again. Do you have any idea who or where they are made ??

Mike Moir is bowing to your attribution and thats good enough for me.
Kralik it is.

I hope Mike and I and the others are correct. Did you ask Mike?

Adding my version for future reference as it is a different shape.  There appears to be no base wear because the base is very gently indented, so on my version there is a very thin ring of wear right on the outer edge of the base which can be seen under a magnifying glass.  The decor continues right under the base with the trails going right under as well. The rim is cut polished and bevelled.  9" tall or 23cm and weighs over 2lb or nearly 1kg.
