LeahGoodwin and Alfredo posted some Kralik meteor vases a while back. Here's mine - I think! Like LeahGoodwin's cobalt example, but with cobalt legs too, and the taller, skinnier version. This one measures 9 1/2" tall and the iridescence is amazing.
Be gentle with me - I'm new and ignorant.

Thank you Scottvez and Czechman.
Lovely.. Now that is a total of 10 decors in the Meteor shape found here on CW! Well done! :)
Thank you all for the loves. Just for info - the photos were taken on a cloudy, sunless afternoon in a London back garden. No flash etc to reflect - that's all natural light. You see what I mean about the iridescence!
Thank you, manddmoir, Scandi and toolate2.
Seems I don't have as many Meteor vase posted anymore on CW.... Thanks to a CW member reporting my listings. Had the Meteor vases listed for a few months and recently CW deleted many postings due to a few vases were listed on eBay. Thought you should know, Lodonloetzlearner, but maybe you already did.
leahgoodwin that is obsurd! you werent selling them thru your post or even discussing selling them on cw posts... @#$%^&#'s... i hope you repost them all i enjoy looking at them from time to time.
LeahGoodwin, I am very sorry to hear that. Your pieces are beautiful and the information you provided helped me to research mine. I hope you will be able to re-post them.
If you are insinuating that I would be so petty and small-minded as to report you, then I am hurt and upset by the suggestion. Let me assure both you and anyone else who reads your post that I did not and would not do such a thing.
I can understand why you would be upset, but I am not sure that making unfounded accusations helps. I would, of course, be happy to remove this post, your post, and any connected posts if I have misunderstood what you are saying.
Londonloetzlearner: You have added my name to your posting of which I no longer have the example and with reason, I have explained why. If anyone was to visit this page to view for educational purposes and wanted to see the other example from my page, it is no longer available here on CW to explain further for my comment. I see you are very active on CW since you have joined, and thought maybe you might have noticed I do not have many postings is what I was suggesting since this is your posting.
Your personal comments... that is on you.
I just come here to learn and help out when I can.
Thank you Bratjdd and MiKKoChristmas11, for the loves. Very much appreciated.
Thank you, Bellin68!
