Alfredo posted on Kralik posy vases with this kind of top 9 months ago. His were clearly Kralik, but he suggested there might also be English versions. His Kraliks always had a clear trim between vase and grid. These, as you see, are green between clear - and have a pretty clumsy pontil mark. So - English, or Bohemian?

They are Kralik for sure... Al proved it by showing the BB illustration. I always heard they were used as a Bride's bank. Who knows? Another multi function beside using as a rose bowl could have serve as a hat pin holder. Just a thought and I love these type of rose bowl with the applied flower frog.
Thank you! I thought so too, from Al's illustration - but I know so little.

Wanted to share Al's posting for others to see and view. With desire and the love for glass, you would be surprised how much you will catch on. So far, you have posted some pretty Bohemian pcs and all in good taste. :)
Again - thank you Leah!
