I have repeatedly stressed the importance of the Butler Brothers catalogs, where Czech glass can be found starting in 1900.Transparent pink glass, with blue or pink/white applications was a Kralik trademark (the basket is marked with the semicircle). All of the pieces above are documented in catalogs from 1920 and 193o, except the tall winged one. The shape, minus wings, appears in Tango. The girdle decor is another Kralik trademark and was applied to other lines. I. Notice the variant in blue and orange. Much of this mass produced glass for export was destroyed during WW2. Ironically, it was preserved in America and the UK. If you have any of these shapes in other types of glass, please write me at:
