Topic: Beehive mercury glass 'Tango' spatter bowl silberglas - Kralik or another maker?

I have been looking at them trying to decide if they could all be from the same maker, essentially with the same mould I guess, could make the argument either way. A vase can be hot worked after it has been given a moulded shape, how many of the variations above could that account for? Have to admit to not knowing much about the subtleties of using moulds.

There is a similarity with all yours but is the foot the same?

Number 1 doesn't look like it fits though.  The others, if the foot is the same, could have been stretched or squashed I guess, which is what I was thinking about mine compared to yours.  That mine had been slightly squashed down.  But in theory the rings look the same as on yours apart from number 1

Interesting?  Page II 53 it lists Frankl Bruder as 'Glassexport'  (1898-1899 Export-Kompass).
Not as a glassmaker or even glass refinery.   Were they exporting their own items made in their factories or were they a middle-man?

Yours is double walled, guessing that technical wizardry comes before any moulded shape, would that make a difference?

honestly I've no idea.  Charles Hajdamach gave a complete description of this technique and how incredibly difficult it was to achieve but I'm still bemused how they managed to make it, and in a beehive mold.   It's a really beautiful piece of glass.
