Sorry, I have not posted a pic of the underside of this piece of glass as it is packed away at the moment. But if that is what is needed to find out a little more about this piece I will go and dig it out - in the loft space somewhere. I have too many cats to keep everything out on show!! And frankly not enough room!!! Thank you for stopping by!!

Another stunner!!!:-)
Kralik..decor is Giraffe, or at least thats what i call it.. nice one!!
As Gary said, most likely Kralik. I believe this decor was made by Welz Kralik and Rindskopf(& possibly more).
Then again I thought mine was kralik and found out later it is Welz.
Here is mine...

there was also a similar decor made by harrach but it's a little more regular looking. More honeycomb
Thank you inky, czechman, obscurities, Ks85, dalsullywon, and vetriao50 for the Love and information on this lovely piece - So I could possibly have another Kralik and I did not know it!!! Many thanks again all!!
Gosh, this is another stunner. for me its all in the air right now. the shape is so easy and generic that anybody could have done it. the pattern is kralik giraffe but those are almost all flashed. this base color also looks like welz because kralik never (?) used it. also WMF and harrach and maybe others did this pattern too...cool!
Thank you GSO and jericho, I am very pleased that you think this is a stunner!! I am such a novice that I do not know what WMF stands for? Please enlighten me!!:-) There is just so much to learn, that I feel I shall never 'get it' with shape, generic, kralik giraffe, flashed!!!!!! Toooooo Much!!! to understand! But many thanks for informing me and just maybe one day - I will 'get it'!!

Thank you ozmarty, but I am a little confused about the link you have left me!?
Thank you BELLIN68 for the Love!;-)
Hi the link was to let you know what WMF meant.
WMF = WURTTEMBERGISCHE METALLWARENFABRIK
sorry for the confusion
Thank you so much ozmarty for the time taken to 'enlighten' me! Much appreciate it!:-)
Thank you to Londonloetzlearner, toolate2 and manddmoir for the love! Must say here that I bought this for 30 pence at a jumble sale!! So, well pleased with it!!
