I'll call it Kralik for want of a better ID. At 7.5", small, but it packs a wallop: clear glass with heavy tomato red spatter and a Vaseline tripod foot. 1.5" wide at the mouth. I like to call this type of glass "Czech Deco Export" which include Tangos (solid colors with contrasting rims) and variegated (practically everything else that is mottled, spattered, streaked etc). Coming home from Texas!

Wild color combo Al!
I didn't realize these were Kralik. I have the identical piece, but with black legs, a teal blue interior, and a confetti colored exterior.
Here are a couple of quick shots of the piece I have:
