This is a great example of Kralik Flame with threading..... Nice color combination....

May I copy your pics??

The fan vase, is also a Kralik piece....  Nice finds....  Period wise both of them are interwar....  ca. 1925

Both of them are commonly found with an arched Kralik mark on them, at least here in the US....

I don't think it's a flame.  The body isn't tall enough, and the top does not have a lip.

The shape is more like these:

I suspected they would be a hair older due to the lack of markings, but again that could just mean never meant for export?

I don't know why, but I didn't find those pages on the kralik-glass.com site when I looked myself.

I had seen the fan vase marked as a fairly common piece but I hadn't found the basket until now, so I greatly appreciate the insight.

Craig, welcome to the pics.  I took them for selling anyways, I'm not a collector (tho sometimes I want to keep pieces like this when I see them!)  Re. your site is an awesome resource!!  One thing worth noting, I wasn't able to find those links above... I found the 3 pages of Kralik styles off the main pages nav frame, but neither had the same images the links posted above had.  Maybe I'm just missing a link somewhere.

Your links don't work; copying the image location doesn't work. The decors varied according to what they were appled to. Flame is the decor NOT the shape. Your decor is Flame, which is the name given by collectors I suspect, as few real Kralik names are known, and how Kralik items are generally described. You have a basket in the Flame decor

Your shape is here in row 5 http://www.kralik-glass.com/kralikdecoshapearray3.html, as you said.

Weird, the links for fine for me, even from a different computer at work.

Thank you for the clarification on what "Flame" meant there, I suspected when a piece is ID'd like that, it would be the form/mold that could be done in any color/pattern.  Sounds like it will vary based on who the piece is attributed to.

Edit: hey look, it's all explained right here - http://www.kralik-glass.com/decornaming.html

Thanks everyone for your input.

Thanks!

Tons of views and watches, but no bids... is $200 really too much or should I just be patient?
