Not Kralik, the quality is just not right. Plenty of these vases to be found if you look about, I believe they are modern, they are nice and decorative but not that well made.

We had another question about them fairly recently.

These have been recently confirmed as glass from Taiwan, as Daniel Griffiths located one with a made in Taiwan label.
Although they have been id'd as Kralik through the years by people, there has always been some doubt about that. After handling a pair of them at a show a couple of years ago, I knew they were not Kralik, but did not have any idea of source. Now we know.
