I bought this vase last week at an auction where they tried to sell it as a Loetz vase.
I can’t find out if it’s a Kralik or Fritz Heckert . There are a lot of similar decorations but I can’t find the same one. Identifying could help if I could find a vase with an identical shape.
The vase is 14,5 cm (5.7”) tall and 8 cm (3,14”) wide

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. ALMOST ALL AUCTION HOUSES INCLUDING SOTHEBY'S SELL THESE AS LOETZ.
Thanks for the information. The book will be a nice Christmas present.
Best wishes for everyone, that we may expand our collections and let everyone enjoy them
