I always assumed this was Kralik, but seeing an earlier post by Czechman identified this as a Ruckl shimmy. it certainly appears the same, but has the what looks like the Kralik mark (2). I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

Your assumption was correct it is indeed Kralik. Those pulls and spatter are both pretty "generic" decors and used by multiple companies, definitely not just Ruckl. Cool piece.
Thanks. I thought so too, but good to have backup.
Ruckl is generally end-of-day pulls in a satin finish, but the extent of their glass is still evolving. This piece is most likely Kralik because of the shape, colors and decor- they are seen on many other pieces that are commonly called Kralik.
Mine, which I bought as Ruckl, has the same shape, but the pulls are not rounded up, like in this example, and it is unmarked. There is evidence Kralik was sold though BB catalogs. So was Ruckl and Welz (and maybe even Deco Harrach). I go with generic decors, common to all Czech Deco export.
what are its dimensions? like al's, the pulls on mine are different fom this one.. and appears larger in size.. and mine has the straight line czechoslovakia mark... love the pink!
Great colours -
The vase is 4 inches tall, just under 6 inches at the widest point and the opening is just under 3 3/4 inches across. Hope this helps.
