Topic: Funky little vase, multicolour "spattered paint" decor -- Bohemian Art Deco?

Thanks m.
I hadn't seen the footed one before, quite similar decor to my vase, totally different shape (not very Art Deco).

I was wrong 
This link shows an article on CW.  In the article it shows a photograph of a description in a book and states
'Wilhelm Kralik, an employee of the Harrach glass works in Neuwelt, Bohemia, was granted a British patent on October 25, 1880 for a method of "ornamenting glass articles". '

The photograph of the page was from the book

'Abridgments of Specifications
Class 52,
Furniture and Upholstery
Period-A.D. 1877-83.

London:
Patent Office Sale Branch
38, Curator Street, Chancery Lane, E.C.
1893

This volume is in the public domain, and is available as a free e-book on Google Books.'

The description is of a 'surface decorated' technique and since it is patented in England would be Victorian.  With apologies to Christine.

Thank you m for clarifying!

I guess many decors on Bohemian Art Deco aera pieces will never have a proper name...

At least I am glad that I found the listing of the one with mottled background on etsy, as even Craig hadn't been entirely sure if my little piece is from that period.
Maybe it will be possible one day to find a shape match for either mine or the mottled one.

Anyway, one of my favourite pieces, so jazzy
