Again inspired by “beyemvey's” recent Rindskopf post on different shapes/same décor – I thought I would post these Kralik pieces showing different shapes/same décor
From left to right: Kralik Martelé (looks like the serpent might be Rindskopf not Kralik), Kralik Veined, Kralik "Pampas"

Thanks Mac!
...... and thanks too to BMV for the inspiration!
Excellent! I have always maintained that shape and decor are is an essential part of Czech glass ID. Read my article on identifying Kralik by shape at:
http//sites/google.com/site/loetzandglass/Home. In it, I explore the identification of Kralik vases by the repeated use of the cartouche.
Is that a serpent on the first piece in the first picture - Or very thick threading? If it is a serpent, doesn't that make this piece very unusual? Al has previously commented that he has never found a Kralik serpent piece - see http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/42450-rindskopf-pink-martele-serpent-vase
Can we see a picture of the detail? Please? Thanks!
I took a closer look after Al pointed out to me the Rindskopf serpent pieces. I think you are right "London". Check out the 4th pic...first two pieces are definitely Rindskopf.
A little learning goes a long way . . . it's Rinndskopf's white martele!
