Topic: Just curiosity on my part - for discussion two old 'spatter glass' pieces

I spotted this on our favourite auction site and wondered if that decor might get us a little further with pinning the little bowl down as Welz?

That particular image, although it is tough for sure from the angle, appears to be Welz Honeycomb in green and white. I think this locks the Welz attribution for the bowl if it is indeed Honeycomb.

The decor is also similar to this piece, in my collection which I suspect to be Welz, but without the ribbing.

Craig, I think it is a honeycomb pattern, I was just wondering whether that was a Welz pattern as well as a Kralik one, so I think that is the little bowl buttoned down to Welz then.
I like your non ribbed vase you've shown.  That reminds me very much of the hyacinth vase I showed you, but without the cup and different colour decor but the same decor and shape don't you think?

This particular Honeycomb decor in green and white is a marker for Welz pieces.......
I am attaching an example of what I think the pattern on the piece is....

Lovely decor and colours Craig - Not keen on that shape though (or my little bowl either)  they rank alongside the trophy vases for me.  Welz have done some beautiful shapes - I wonder if that is a different time period perhaps earlier ?

That green one sits on the shelf next to these.....

I do not think they are earlier. Many of the Honeycomb pieces are marked Czechoslovakia. I think a large part of their now known production is 1920's -30's.....  I think they did a lot of product which was styled as if it were produced earlier... They are not really identifiable in the early Butler catalogs, and start appearing in Butler mid to late 20's in much larger numbers.   Like many of the trophy vases.....  I too like the decor a lot, but am not keen on the shape.... I am personally not real fond of handled pieces of most kinds..... I can only think of 2 pieces with handles out of all of my glass....  One is a Kralik pitcher and glass set, and the other is a plain white Kralik Deco piece with clear handles I bought purely because of the shape.......  and I have got a few pieces of glass hanging around...
