After a long wait a vase I was really looking forward to getting arrived yesterday, I new that it had died and gone to heaven before even opening it (shown in the 4th photo) I was soooo! disappointed that when this beauty arrived in the same type of soft cardboard box, it took me a little while to open as I was a little worried at what I might find, luckily this trader did put some extra padding in but! I am still surprised in arrived in one piece.
My new pride and joy, and it's ((((fantabulous)))) I've seen it described as a Loetz and a Kralik if anyone knows for sure I would really love to know.
Many thanks.....:-)
The English did these too, I think?
It's traditionally thought that the English did a version of these (walsh walsh I think) I don't know if that's one of those verified things or one of those wives tales things. I think Kralik is the other traditional attribution. If I get near my English books I'll take a look and see if there is any kind of verifiable information.
the manley book is kind of a joke :)
I have that book but I never look at it because it's a pointless exercise. :)
victorian decorative glass by Mervyn Gulliver and Charles hadjamachs book are the two I have found worth looking at.
I really thought at last I could confidently sound like I was getting somewhere with my attribution even if I was hedging my bets with a fifty chance either way. BUT!!! noooo!.. along comes all these other possibilities!
Am I ever going to learn anything? maybe one day I will get one right!... the only good thing about it all is.. I love nice glass!!...:-)
Thank you so much for the loves and wonderful comments and the discussion, I love it and have found it most interesting.
Inky, it's really probably Kralik :)

Hello Justanovice, thank you I know what you mean, me the same, just been dashing in and out to have a quick look, it's that time of the year, I also wish you and your family and hopefully Kim a lovely Christmas...:-)
Please no need to apologise I too have been busy these last two or so weeks and find it hard to sit and properly go through it all, I just flit in and out out. Yes! I too have champagne taste and a beer wallet and look out for elusive bargains, also with my lack of knowledge am bit weary of bidding too high on anything. Thank you I do love my collection and am very much enjoying collecting...:-)
