One of the few marked pieces. I think from what I've seen this is a Kralik mark. I couldn't tell if the head of the snake was a claw or not. It is covered with the blobs, and may just the usual end of the snake.

This is what I was talking about that was in the Kralik Museum on your other piece.
Definitely Kralik
I just looked at my pics again. same basic shape is represented in the museum but that one has handles with snakes going around instead of just the snakes.
Thanks for the comments. This isn't my favorite piece mostly because of the color, but it is unusual for that. I'm getting so much wonderful information that you guys may end up making a glass collector out of me. I have no room!! These pieces came from a collector/dealer's estate sale. There were only two other collectors, the rest were dealers with even less Czech knowledge than me. I just couldn't stand for the unusual pieces to end up on a dealer shelf for all ages.
yeah.. the brown does look like something doesn't it ;) It's very unusual though. :)
If you search Kralik Lava, you will find a few others on here.
yes this is the one...
