Yes!... I am being a little greedy.... two in one day...:-).. another of my wins arrived today and I was pleased with this one, it is GORGEOUS!!..It stands a lovely 11 3/4 inches or 29cm tall.
I had been watching this "Loetz" vase for months as it was well out of my budget, he kept on listing it and he even dropped the price twice, still didn't sell, I made an offer and he excepted it. I had been told and so had he that it was a Kralik but he was adamant it was a loetz.
I have searched and searched to try be able to be certain but! to no avail. Are the markings on the base nothing or are they a mark of some sort?
Can anyone help..thanks!
Thanks for looking...:-)

Many thanks for the love vetraio50 ~ walksoftly ~ BELLIN68 and phil....:-)
czechman thank you for the love and comment I have searched in both these camps and cant find anything like it, the shape, decor yes but even then slightly different and certainly not all combined with that rim...Soooo! frustrating...:-/
Obscurities.. thank you as I said to Garry nothing found in ether, but still looking. Yes! me thinks definitely motivated by price and hopefully I didn't pay to much for it, but then again it is a beautiful piece of glass!....:-)
Many thanks Justanovice and miKKoChristmas11......:-)

Many thanks Manikin....:-)
I absolutely am jealous. I LOVE THIS! I have yet to find a threaded piece myself that I can afford. It sounds like we are on the same boat there. But you are doing very well I would say in your selection. I also agree this is one of the most frustrating hobbies a person could have. There are sooooo many glass companies out there that are copying each other that sometimes it is nearly impossible to tell the dang difference. Then just when you think you have nailed it, someone comes along with another opinion and makes you rethink it all over again. But oh the joy when you KNOW you get it right...:) Really loving the collection Inky. Great Job!
Many thanks...JayHow.. I have got say I am in awe of it too. I can't believe I actual have something as beautiful as this, I am very much a novice at this glass thing and don't know very much at all and easily get caught out.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, like you I enjoy owning beautiful glass and can say that I am a self confessed glassacoholic...:-)
Your welcome Inky! I love the glassaholic comment. What else would we call ourselves. I know I am obsesses or posessed one or the other, I cant seem to get enough knowledge on the subject. There is sooo much to learn. Just about the time I think I have something figured out something else comes along to say otherwise. Drives me crazy sometimes!
*Inky I have no clue who made your vase and don't want to get your hopes back up but...
here is a vase same shape/size.

That one may possibly be Bronze Glatt
Here is a post of Alfredos that shows the same type of rim.

I have no clue if the colors are actually the same on the two and have never even seen bronze glatt in person, but hopefully someone else can chime in on it. Also, I would not be surprised if multiple companies used that style of rim. But hopefully these are a few more pieces to help towards completing the puzzle.
Many thanks scottvez and Greatsnowyowl....:-)
ks85... Thank you so much for taking the time and sending me the links, that first one is very like mine isn't it, the very same rim!..and no! I wont get my hopes up... been there before and been disapointed....:-/
