Topic: Iridescent opaline web pattern ID = Kralik

I'm sure I've seen this pattern in a piece of glass before, but I can't find anything in my reference books.
Can anyone help with an  identification?
Many thanks.
David

Never seen that shape but the glass looks very much like Kralik,will check my bookmarks and have another look,Keith.

Thanks Keith, Is there definitely a spider web pattern by Kralik?  The pattern is embossed on the back, I guess it was rolled/pressed into a pattern as a flat sheet then pulled into shape. Do you know if any other companies used a similar design?  If anyone does ..do you have any pictures?
Many thanks,
David

Couldn't say if they did a spiderweb pattern and a number of glass factories did similar work,there are a some sites you might want to view,Loetz and glass and Verre d'art both show Kralik and other producers,have included pic's of my 'white' (opal) kralik,do you you think they are alike?Keith.

Lots of similarities! I think mine is more translucent though, less white. The flash I used at night has made mine appear more opaque. Looking a mine again it is quite like an altered handkerchief bowl.
I'd be very pleased if mine was Kralik though, it was only a fiver at an antiqe fair.
