After studying the mark I see it's the one used from 1926-50, a bit older than I thought.

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

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):

Source Schlesisches Museum zu Goerlitz
https://www.schlesisches-museum.de/en/about-us/the-collection/glass

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  ???
