It is now quite probable that Rückl made much of the Czech satin glass on the market. This massive unmarked wall pocket qualifies as Pierrot, either Canary or Orange (pic. 1). It is 9" side, 5.5" deep and 7" tall. It has three holes in the back (pic. 2), where my partner strung a metal wire to hang it (beautiful and useful; that is my mantra). Pic 3 shows a view from the inside. Pic. 4, a comparison with a marked satin vase.
By the way, satin glass has a "fuzzy effect" that makes it look out of focus when photographed. Be assured: it's not your camera or too many Martinis.
