I do vaguely - I'll have a search on the board to see if I can find it.
Thanks Mel :)

link to Mel's bowl with green spots and other items on that thread that are Kralik coloured spots.

And another here
http://www.nouveauglass.co.uk/kralik-glass/kralik-vase-3/
the colour of the green looks very similar but the spots don't look quite the same.  That might be because smaller pieces were used to marver in or also because my vase is stretched up to make the shape.
Anyway it's a good reference just in case.  Thanks Mel :)

Mel, was yours iridescent btw?  the pics look as though it was just opaline glass rather than mother of pearl - but that could just be my eyesight  ;D

I would call mine pearlescent m, if that helps. It was the spotting that looked similar and rang a bell. The overall shape of yours (minus threading) is also ringing a vague bell at the back of my mind...if it materialises I'll add it :-)

happy hunting

I'd forgotten about this thread. 

I think these are all Fritz Heckert , Designed by Otto Thamm.

See info on a new thread I made today (didn't think to check before posting):

'Just adding this before I lose it.  Exciting find.  I bought a vase many years ago at a fair and just put it away thinking I'd never find out who made it.  I think it's the same 'range' as this one but different colourway:

https://antikes-glas.de/en/fritz-heckert/nouveau-vase-from-opal-glass-with-crumbling-fusions-fheckert-othamm-p-1565.html?language=en

The vase in the link is 18cm.  Mine is 30cm tall by 12cm diameter base and 7.5cm diameter rim.
Anyone else think they're probably the same maker?

The info and reference on the linked vase at Antiques Neuwirth is : Fritz Heckert Petersdorf, Design Otto Thamm, c1903 (source Lit .: S. Zelasko, Fritz Heckert 1866-1923, Page 201. )

Good spot m. I like the description "opal glass with crumbling fusions", sounds great.

It's a great description isn't it  :)

mm, when I said 'I think all these are Fritz Heckert ' I was actually referring to just John's Glassobsessed's pieces and mine.

I don't know about Mel's bowl or thread.

However ... the link I gave to an item on Dragonfly earlier in this thread when discussing Mel's comments had said at the time 'Kralik' but the info on that link now says it's Fritz Heckert 'Marmopal' :
https://www.nouveauglass.co.uk/antiques/heckert/kralik-vase-3/

So perhaps many of these spotted pieces may turn out to be Fritz Heckert?
