Pic. 1: 6" tall. Clear glass (Candia) totally covered in glass drops: yellow, amber, red, orange, slate blue, cobalt blue.
Pic. 2: Comparison to an Ausf 237. Notice two markers: identical foot; identical rim treatment. Difference in decor: Ausf 237 has swirls; the other does not.
Pic. 3: identical nickel-sized polished pontils., but in the new vase it has been placed slightly to one side, not right in the middle. Now that I have held them, the glass weight is also identical.
Pic. 4: My take: this is an Ausf. 237 variation. The ground is Candia, the glass shards are not swirled and the color combination is different.
I EMPHASIZE: YOU MUST SEE THEM TOGETHER. NOT KRALIK BY A LONG SHOT.
Loetz Art GlassLoetz was the premier Bohemian art glass manufacturer during the Art Nouvea…
Art DecoArt Deco was an international design and art movement in the 1920s and ’30s…
Absolutely, this is Loetz. Very nice find, very good feeling for the essence of Loetz glass.

That's a comment from a Serbian expert!
And I agree completely with both of you. Seeing them alongside each other, it just speaks for itself. Nice eye Al, you did well.
stunning and very very beyond beautiful:)
if the Shards from the canal by the old loetz villa are anything to go by the spatter glass came in a big variety of base glass and colors.
To me this looks like the other million Czech end of day glass vases. I would need much more convincing to call this Loetz.
