As you can tell by my heading, all descriptive brain cells have left the building. This lovely flared/ruffled rim vase measures 21.5cm. I think its white and cased with the pale green. Has a dotted appearance to the vase. Technical terms also left the building. Signed to the base a curved Czechoslovakia. First part almost worn off with age wear. Not what I would have thought at all. Applied clear green wings that have slight uranium content. Any thoughts on a maker and age? I always tend to end up with Kralik so that would be my first guess, whether it was or not. :)

Thanks mustangtony :)
Fascinating. The mark is a lower semicircle mark. just as a mirror image of the Kralik upper semicircle mark. I have a whole folder full of these marks. The vase indeed looks like Kralik, but that mark has not been definitely associated with it. This is a great example of Czech "Victorian" export, not my cup of coffee at all.
I have a piece with a similar rim in peach color with an applied vine. I will post a story with pics. The consensus of most has been Kralik, but no way to be 100% sure. Nice vase!
Stunning sweetheart slave to the G:)
Thank you everyone. Not my usual taste either but when I saw the mark I had to have it, curiousity, research whatever. As I have this radar for Kralik, I thought it may be also. Especially with the applied 'wings'.
