I have been looking for a nice example of a Kralik Meteor vase for a while now. I found one today. This one stands 6.5” inches tall.
The second shot is an example of a Rocket vase, which I have had for a while now, with my new addition.
One of the features I like about the Meteor vase is the textured surface and the way it catches light. While photographing this piece, I pulled together some of my other “overshot” pieces.

What an amazing lovely collection...as well!!!...:-)
Very nice, Meteor! This is a design shift when compared to the shell (Meteor) shape and resembles flames, I think. I have this same Silveria Meteor example with green threads. Now it can be known also in pink. (very cool!) Will be interesting to see how many more in this shape were made in various decors. Great find and your collection looks amazing!
