Post by: BRADBURY7308 on April 14, 2011, 09:44:43 PM: Thought id place this on here as im unsure about it when i first saw it i thought modern glass but since i got it today i keep thinking it looks a bit like some kralik ive seen quite a nice colour and has a pontil scar fair amount of wear nothing crazy but what is unusual is there appears to be stylised flowers into the glass around the main body and again on the rim wouldnt know how this has been done would just like to know if anyone might understand how its done also a maker date etc if possible thankyou its puzzling me. Nearly forgot 4.5"tall 5.5" rim and 3" base The glass is very fine!!
