the first pic is from one of Jitka's Museums. everything in that particular case was Kralik ( she tended to blur Meyers neffe and kralik as one and the same so I can't say for sure which these are)
the yellowish piece on that shelf has a near identical decoration as the two Harrach pieces I have. So I asked her about it. Are you sure they aren't Harrach? She was positive it was indeed kralik and said basically you can never go off decor alone. It's the glass that determines it. the glass is indeed very different than the harrach examples.

Dear Greatsnowyowl,
Thank you for sharing. They are spectacular. It is a most complicated subject for great minds. I am thrilled that I am picking up my little tidbits and learning. Knowing a maker is a thrill but knowing about the decor, elements, history etc. is just as exciting to me.
Sincerely,
Lisa
