honestly I've no idea.  Charles Hajdamach gave a complete description of this technique and how incredibly difficult it was to achieve but I'm still bemused how they managed to make it, and in a beehive mold.   It's a really beautiful piece of glass.

Yours is double walled, guessing that technical wizardry comes before any moulded shape, would that make a difference?

Interesting?  Page II 53 it lists Frankl Bruder as 'Glassexport'  (1898-1899 Export-Kompass).
Not as a glassmaker or even glass refinery.   Were they exporting their own items made in their factories or were they a middle-man?

There is a similarity with all yours but is the foot the same?

Number 1 doesn't look like it fits though.  The others, if the foot is the same, could have been stretched or squashed I guess, which is what I was thinking about mine compared to yours.  That mine had been slightly squashed down.  But in theory the rings look the same as on yours apart from number 1

I have been looking at them trying to decide if they could all be from the same maker, essentially with the same mould I guess, could make the argument either way. A vase can be hot worked after it has been given a moulded shape, how many of the variations above could that account for? Have to admit to not knowing much about the subtleties of using moulds.

Information re catalogues and sample books of Josephinenhutte AG (1920s and 1930s):

part quote:
'...However, thanks to a donation, the Silesian Museum was able to obtain numerous documents of the Fritz Heckert Company in Petersdorf (Piechowice); furthermore, the museum purchased a comprehensive collection consisting of some 50 catalogues and sample books of Josephinenhütte AG (1920s and 1930s) aa well as the Polish successor company Huta Jozefina (1950-ies).'

Thank you.  Interesting.
Images 2 and 4 look to be the same shape as the silvered bowl. Possibly  ???

More examples with this shape.

There is a small excerpt from the American Glass Review of 1923 which indicates things might have been a struggle for Josephinenhutte and other makers around that time.
In 1923 it says they merged the company with Fritz Heckert and Kynast-Kristall.

It also says Rhenish-Westphalian glass handed notice to all their makers.

I don't know how strong the company was in 1929 but that was the year of the Great Depression.  Perhaps the range was launched but never got off the ground on a long term basis.

Erwin Pfohl returned to Novy Bor in the 1930s /1930? and remained there for the rest of his life from my understanding.
