Pressglas Korrespondenz 2012 2 Seite 24/30 scroll down to see jug on right hand side
Carafe by Ludwig Sutterlin for Fritz Heckert 1902 Has the painted green spots on.
Looking at your lamp again I feel Josephinenhutte could have made this piece before decoration. Just a thought. However there is another piece on page 22 which has similarities somehow - also Fritz Heckert chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2012-2w-zelasko-heckert-passau-2012-buch.pdf

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.

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.
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).'
