Grrrrr -always amuses me this

The Wilhelm Kralik  that patented the Peloton design was not the Kralik of the so named glass works.

He was a cousin of the guy that the 'W Kralik Sons' glassworks was named after (they were a very big family many of whom were involved in glass) and this particular Kralik worked pretty much exclusively for Harrach -so its probably Harrach

Just adding this one as a link.

They are lovely quality and very pretty pieces

I also believe, as does M, that this is Harrach production. Although there is some of this production attributed to Kralik, I believe it is actually some confusion due to a Wilhelm Kralik working as the Administrator at Harrach at the time the glass was developed. A British patent was issued in 1880 to a Wihelm Kralik. The patent was issued on behalf of C.N. Blumberg, who was apparently a major importer of Harrach production to the UK at the time.

This is not the same Wilhelm Kralik who was the owner of Myer's Neffe, as the time frames are not correct. Wilhelm Kralik of the Myer's Neffe connection died in 1877.
