Topic: Thomas Webb Bronze Range Vase ?

Sorry - I wasn't trying to being rude with my "kitchen grime", but it's really hard to tell what something truly looks like from a photograph. 
If you already know what the reality is, you can see it in the image, but if you don't, you can interpret things wrongly.
We are looking at something that is three dimensional, in a 2D image.

Bright sunshine might well have done something to make the surface appear shinier.
I am pleased to hear the lustre doesn't wash off.

How well polished is the pontil? Is it as smooth as a normal glass, or does it have a slightly "ground" finish? The reason I ask is that it looks somewhat like it has a ground finish in your photo? All my Loetz pieces have highly smooth pontils. If the pontil isn't perfectly smooth I'd say not Loetz.

I'm also leaning away from Kralik, on the basis that the base doesn't seem right? That said, the decor reminds me of Purple Glatt:

What colour is it when you shine light through the glass?
