do you mean controlled airbubbles or just do you find bubbles in them? I haven't handled a lot of thorn pieces but to me they look like whimseys and wouldn't have been the top notch glass you'd have found elsewhere necessarily so yeah, I expect airbubbles in the glass would be considered normal quality for these. YMMV
hello Greatsnowyowl , thankyou for you help :) so do you think it is Kralik because i have no idea:)
thankyou for the love Greatsnowyowl:)
Greatsnowyowl what is YMMV?
Thankyou MacArt for the love:)
it means your market may vary , your unsure :) i got it Greatsnowyowl.
Hi Sean, Yes bubbles are norm..some burt during the process and some dont..i call the "unburted ones" controlled bubbles... i am no expert on the thorn vases but i have a hunch it's Czech by the house of Kralik.... i could be wrong i hope this helps... maybe LeahG will see it and give her opinion shes GREAT with this type of glass...either way fantastic find my friend!!

Hey Bellin68, what a cutie of a thorn. Because the shape is not documented in the BB catalog or else where, it can't be determined if it is Kralik or Bohemian. However, I understand why you would think Kralik and the origin is Bohemian. Alfredo and I have shared a (love) interest for thorn vases which his beautiful collection can be viewed here on CW and as anyone who views his thorn collection will see all shapes are documented from the Butler Brother catalogs. Your thorn of course is not a documented shape. As time moves forward, research does evolve and maybe this shape will appear. Many thorn vases were a popular export from the Bohemian market to the USA and UK. Made in a variety of colours and various shapes. As far as the British market goes, I've only seen vaseline opalescent and crystal clear thorn (stick or aka tube) vases that are attributed to Webb. Kralik certainly knew how to market this organic shape for a number of years. For me, I would certainly say your thorn is Bohemian from my own experience and yes, it could very well be from Kralik. It is helpful for collectors to keep in mind it is common to find chips on thorns and as well as on the applied base. To find a thorn that is absolutely mint is rare. Nice find overall, Bellin68. As many thorns as I have handled, this is a new colour variation and form to me. Thanks, for sharing. :)
thankyou very much Leahgoodwin for the love and the sharing the information as well , i do have to say what made think that this a kralik or Bohemian is because of color and the shape and of course the thorns and there is some chips to the base as well and on the opening there is some chips as well . so thankyou for the conformation on this LeahGoodwin , for telling me that this is " Bohemian :) so what do i change the title to this post ? :)

thankyou very much Alfredo for the love and the confirmation:) thankyou very much Alfredo :) wow this pleases me very much:)
I just did eye4beauty:) and once again thankyou very much Alfredo:) for your help and the very nice kinds :)
hey Alfredo , thankyou for the nice Mr.Hunk :) i very much enjoyed that , very nice of you:)
In Monograph 121 there is a much better illustration of the frog, and of my tall vaseline single. Given the evidence, I still say it is Kralik. I have a similar one in purple shading to light lavender, transparent.
i m all agreement with you Alfredo :) and i totally believe you :)
