    This is one of my favorite Kralik pieces in my collection. The shape is so squat and rounded - it reminds me of a fat pumpkin stack. It also has a mold-blown sort of wave or shell pattern on four sides of the vase, which I tried to show in the photo. It's a heavy one, about 5 1/2" across the bottom and almost 4 3/4" tall. It has a lovely iridescence that adds so much to the beautiful peachy-amber color of the glass. I really like the texture of Kralik's crackle in particular - it seems to have more depth and interest than other bohemian makers of the time.

      Hi apostata, it is actually all iridescent; I think the angle of light makes it look that way.
