thanks alisa, epson233 and sean :)
Wild! Normally I'm not attracted to splatter type decors, but I love the way it looks when pulled/stretched like this. This is certainly a vase that demands attention!
many thanks cogito for the wonderful comment, and thanks to forewhales, v50

So far, because of its similarity to the thorns in the Hosch catalog and in the BB, I'd say Kralik.
Kralik did indeed produce thorns, but I also tend believe Ruckl did as well. Gary's thorn has six sides at the cut rim, and a thin layer of coloured glass sandwich between other layers of glass. From the cased examples with embossed decors that are Ruckl, some of the thorn vases I have are produced the same way. Green and crystal are the only colours showing in the Hosch for Kralik. In BB, imported Bohemian glasswares are offered an assortment.
