Ken, the glass in your Riceszinn looks to me like a Kralik décor with Mica inclusions....

Great stuff here......

So, I will likely have to break these down into categories....  so I will start with early bohemian glass in my collection.....

1) Loetz Rosa Argentan pair (I think of them as 1)
2) Kralik Abstract Flower pair (I think of them as 1)
3) Early Welz produced with a colorant process they patented. I find the color, and simplisticly clean modernist form to be     fascinating for a ca. 1900 example.

Next I will do interwar Czech glass.

Interwar Czech Glass:

1) Welz Decanter set....  I love love love this set.... 1 of 2 decanter sets from Welz I have ever seen.
2) Kralik in an un-named decor. Only example I have ever seen. Marked with an arched Czechoslovakia on the underside and 10 inches tall.
3) Kralik Red threaded double Gourd. Also marked with the arch stamp.

Great decanter set Craig,that early Welz,is that shape indicative of Welz ?as I've  a small pale green,very plain vase that has yet to be id'd,

Hi Keith.

Thanks on the decanter set. I just found a little covered piece with applied green feet in the same decor to go with it.

Regarding the tall Welz piece.....  It is the only example in that shape I have seen by them. I really only ID's it as a result of the glass itself, and other examples I have seen. The glass is unmistakable.  This example is about 11 inches tall.....  Largest example I have seen in the decor.

Send me a pic of the green one....  would be glad to take a look...

Your fabby Kralik knuckle is like mine! (same colourway) 
I want to turn it upside-down and hang great long chains of beads from the rim and use it as a lampshade. 

Michael won't stay in the same room as it. He hates it with a vengeance.
