Obscurities' post of a "trophy vase" made me think of this pair of vases. Generic Czech or...?
Thoughts on attributions are appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to comment so quickly obscurities!
To show my appreciation (and get more feedback), I have posted another pair for your consideration.

I agree with Craig. Typical Welz.
Thanks alfredo-- I appreciate the comment. Any attribution ideas on my other pair of vases posted yesterday?
scott
Check out Ludwig Moser & Sohne as there are similar trophy shaped vases attributed to them. Not that I know a lot!!
Thanks for the thoughts justanovice. Do you have some links?
scott
Google Ludwig Moser & Sohne images or try Twentieth Century Glass that is where I have seen very similar vases (I have a pair myself and was trying to identify them)
still not sure having checked out Welz. But worth a look yourself.
Thanks mikie and purpledog.
scott
Thanks jericho.

Definitely not moser..
Moser did some lemon varigated.. I am pretty sure all of the Moser lemon Varigated was on harrach blanks and decorated by Moser. But they weren't responsible for undecorated items along the lines of this. The moser product would also be pre 1900. I am pretty sure these are later production.
What makes you say Ruckl-- charcoal?
