Someone recently posted a gorgeous Kralik vase. I wanted to post a couple of other examples of similar style vases. I "think" these are all Kralik. I am open to additional info if someone has a better idea than mine.

Wow, beautiful!
I can certainly see the similarities between my vase and vases 2 and 3 in picture 1. Vase 2 has the same ribbing, and vase 3 the same colour - and the same intense uranium.
Interestingly, someone posted a link on my post to a vase at http://www.madforglass.es/english/english3.html
That has very similar stripes to your Vase 1. That is listed as English, but with no explanation for the attribution. Alfredo has stated that another attribution on that site is wrong on another of my posts, so it may be a red herring, but it is interesting.
Let us hope that Alfredo and/or Obscurities and/or some of the others can give us a steer!
The vase on that link sure is an ugly little booger isn't it?! Interesting piece. I haven't seen an example like that one before. Certainly the same maker but it doesn't have to same sexy curves and elegance.
Much as I hate to be critical, I'm inclined to agree with you! Perhaps a fine example of less is more ... And since there seem to be more of the elegant members of the family around, perhaps the mystery makers agreed! IMHO I still think Kralik is a good bet.
They all appear in the earliest 1900 Butler Brothers catalog I have, from 1901, and if i recall correctly, on the WV Museum's Monograph 14, the catalog which Jitka has DEFINITIVELY identified as being all Kralik.
Kralik has some of the most fantastic shapes, and is well-known for its use of petal rims and attachments. I am mad about this glass. By the way, she belongs to my list, is called Rosa Maria Mastomas and lives in Barcelona!
