Here are a few more pieces of tango that I believe are Loetz, but am not 100% sure. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me. I forgot to take a picture of the bottom of the covered dish and do not have it at home, but it does have the oval mark on the bottom. I really like the design of it and the cobalt/orange combo(hard to see in the pictures).
I was also wondering if the vase is a powolny.
Thanks.

the first tiazza is loetz (comes in many colors and sizes) the next to loetz or kralik, on the last piece are the lines in the piece glass or enamel? could be czech tango then painted by kolek.
Thanks for the help Jericho. Is a tiazza the little "footed dish"? The lines on the vase are painted on, they are not inside of the glass. They are not inside the glass. Not a good thing?
Thanks for the love vetr.
yes- the tiazza is the footed dish- it comes in every color and not easy to make symmetrical like that. the middle piece i like especially because it is so simple and deco. the last one is probably loetz but they usually have glass threads as stripes. lampshades are usually painted this way, also the stripes could have been added later by a different company.
Thanks again for the help Jericho. I really like the middle piece as well. Out of the collection I bought, I am only able to keep so many pieces ($ and space). However, that one is definitely on my keep list. The blue shows so much better in person too.
Do you know if it has anything to do with these pieces..

Or is that page talking more about the enamel work on the pieces?
Bellin68 and toolate2, thanks for the love
thanks for the love czechman
thanks for the love bratjdd
Thanks Craig, your replies have been very helpful. The mark on the middle piece is now shown in the second picture.
I was thinking it was likely loetz because of the mark, the blue/orange colors-compared to my other loetz blue/orange pieces and because it resembles the bottom of the ausf165 pattern. I have realized, through past mistakes, that similar isn't identical though. This stuff sure is confusing :).
I think the 3rd piece is unmarked(not with me, so can't verify at the moment). I do know it has the "polished, ground pontil"(if my terminology is correct). Not sure if that helps though.
Yes, the last 2 pictures are of the same vase.
Thanks again for all the help Craig and thanks for the loves everyone.
Well, Kyle, as we now know, your covered jar is a Hans Bolek design for Loetz, Form Nr. 812/12 cm; dates from 1916/1917. Nice pieces!
