Attributed to Kralik, acid-stamped straight line CZECHOSLOVAKIA mark. Diamond quilted vaseline glass is encased in cobalt blue at the bottom, and the blue is pulled up to the top of the piece. Cut from the top, and flawless. I don't have anything profound to add about this piece other than I just love it. I've seen one other one in a different shape in the collection of a friend.
