Topic: Mystery (art nouveau?) vase, opaque teal with golden iridescent crackle pattern

Searching for something else I came across this posting on CW, showing several pieces with the same decor: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/56653-mystery-glass
So other collectors of Bohemian glass are obviously stumped by these pieces as well.

Not much wiser, but at least we know now that this decor comes on confirmed Lötz shapes...
So either these are Lötz, or some contemporary glass artist is mimicking decors plus shapes in very high quality.

the big green piece that Jericho refers to I assume is the one on the right?  That appears to be a tri lobed piece maybe, it's difficult to tell from the photos.  But it also has old fashioned reeded feet - they look like they might be uranium glass.

Weird/interesting that two have a Loetz shape.

Usually a shape match should be sufficient to attribute with some certainty.
But in this case the decor is so unusual...
