It does not look like silver foil to me, but I can see what Sue means about the way it (whatever the substance is) has broken up and stretched apart as the vase was blown.

Shugdens, don't make offers to sell in the ID forums please or you'll find your whole topic is promptly whizzed over to Market Place. See forum descriptions for what may go where. Thanks!
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Craig, what do you mean by "arched Czechoslovakia?"  Is the vase signed in any way?

Paul,

Attached is an image of the mark on the underside of the pink vase. It is considered a provenance mark associated with Kralik.

There are also other stamps they are thought to have used that are similar to other companies. There are also a couple of straight line marks and a two line mark that are considered to be theirs also, but you have to look at fonts and some other things to distinguish them apart, but the arched mark like this is considered to be exclusively theirs and an indication of their production. Just as a couple of acid stamps are considered to be indications of Loetz production post 1918.

Many other marks and labels of the period are thought to be exporters marks and can not be directly associated with any particular production house.

Wow, this is just fantastic, really cool.  It ties into some very, very obscure research I've been doing for 15 years or so and answers a question.  I am really indebted to you for this, thank you.   :rah:  :hiclp:  :chky:  :24:  :bf:

Paul, send me an email about your research using the email icon below my name on the left. I am the webmaster for a new Bohemian glass website which has been under construction for the last year+, and the member of a group that does research. I have done a bunch of research on Franz Welz production and I would be interested in your work and what you have been studying.....  maybe we can help each other.....

Owner of the vase checking in - the inclusions are not silver, as much as I had hoped they would be... they are as white as the driven snow. It is a great piece of glass, though. :)

So that explains the "jigsaw" effect, which couldn't occur with mica but would occur with silver foil or enamel powder.

If not silver foil, then what material was used?  Craig, I will e-mail you soon, and thank you again.
