With the ground rim I think this is Bohemian/Czech and possibly an early Kralik piece. I thought at first the feet had damage but they've actually been ground so it stands correctly. It is 15cm. tall and dare I call it a bulb vase.

This appears to have the same applied 'pulled leaf type' feature. I would suggest Kralik or another Bohemian manufacturer of the time - the jury may still be out for the maker of some of these mother of pearl type items.

I would have thought it was a bulb vase also Nev. But I don't have Patricia's book unfortunately ... yet :)

Thanks John, I did have another spatter glass vase with similar ground feet which I was almost sure was Kralik. I'm thinking the date for this is probably around 1880 but no later than 1900. flying free, vases like this are often called bulb/hyacinth vases but whether this was designed for that purpose I'm not sure.
-
That's true which is why I mentioned I didn't have the book. But it's a good shape :)
-
It could be a bulb vase; that will depend on the diameter of the interior hole
-
Inside rim diameter 2 1/4" so maybe a bit small.
-
I'm now inclined to think it's by Franz Welz rather than Kralik. The kralik-glass.com site has pieces with features that are more alike to it and also some in uranium glass, although nothing exactly the same.

I don't know why I didn't think of this jug I posted which has similar features ::).

"The curious history of the bulb vase", now I understand :)

I don't think it has any defining Welz characteristics (crimping tools were not always specific to a glass manufacturer), but that inside hole diameter, i.e., where the bulb would rest, is plenty big enough for a bulb. I wouldn't go further than Bohemian
