Very excited to share this fine example of Ruckl.
The first pic are my pieces which my 10 year son, Joshua owns the the tall 12" Ruckl vase with an applied ribbon of crimped colourless ruffles. The other two examples match by decor and is why they are included.
The other two images are from an auction and what a lovely find to stumble on. I usually am not one to use "public" images to post, but for the sake of glass education I'm giving in. *Please take notice of the Antonin Ruckl & Sons sticker label to confirm this vase is indeed Ruckl.
The Ruckl decor consist of a opaque red interior with white and more darker red spatter Nice crystal clear casing as well.
BTW: Thanks, Josh for earning A's and B's on your report card so you could help Mom share this posting. ;)

Awesome examples leah..tell josh he has a great eye!...
Terrific find thank you for posting ....
and Josh
....Just raid your mom's store ... you'll haver the best collection of all of us!
Thanks, everyone for the love and comments. Joshua and I appreciate it. Josh was so excited, he had a hard time falling asleep tonight!
Kevin, Josh read your "me" page and he thinks your a smart guy with cool stuff.
Sean, I told Josh how nice and friendly you are, and he asked to see your collection. lol Well, he was floored with the amount of collectibles you have!
Gary... Josh wants to know if you will trade your spatter shell for his Ruckl. He still thinks there is 4 and if you let one go, you will have three left. lol
Marty, don't plant that seed! lol
All I can say is . . . HOLY COW! I will trade with Josh for anything he wants!
What I find really more intriguing is that those pictures resemble the Welz pictures in Truitt I! What I call Czech Victorian.
Nice work Josh - and Mom. I'm not sure I dare show my son, Oliver. He's only 6, but he loves seeing the glass on here. He only has one piece of his own, but if he sees this, he will want to post it!
Al, your asking for trouble telling Josh he can trade for anything! lol I'm glad you mentioned Czech Victorian. I have been going through all the Victorian style (welz) examples, and I'm finding what I thought to be Welz, maybe Ruckl. Of course this subject is in infancy. I have found a couple of shapes with the same rigaree and applied base. One decor is a green honeycomb and the other is translucent cranberry. I do have other shapes in the same decor shown above.
Nicole, I love it!!!! lol and Thank you. I think that would be great if Oliver shared. Come'on Mom!!! lol
Craig, no I do not have access and I take it you do not. Good suggestion.
Mystery Solved, Craig. Check out Al's "Ruckl Coral Shimmy" posting, as he has confirmed the A. Ruckl label is from 1903.
