    These examples are from the same thought process as my last post.

    1: These baskets show a clear Bohemian folk tradition. The shapes are very similar for the consumer but distinctive to the manufacturer. It well known that glass firms protected their formulations and techniques vigorously, even suing each other constantly. Here are a few things that make the companies unique
    Kralik: the base color, the foot, the pull design, the shape
    Welz: the base color and pattern, the rim application, the use of edventurine, the pontil (or no pontil).

    2: The technique here is the rim shape, both show a great technique to creating a flower petal rim but I would say Welz does it better (that is just my bias).
    Kralik: the type of applied foot, the cased canes, the thickness of glass, the shapes
    Welz: the foot, the shape, the rim, the thickness in glass, the rim application (thinner thread), the cased decor

    3: Two vases in tango combinations.
    (same kind of observations)

    4: Candy dishes (lidded pieces)
    The strutted pieces are a harder signifier of maker. They utilize almost identical pulling tools and application technique. What tells them apart are other things like decor and body shape; in the powder jars Welz usually has an applied finial whereas Kralik used the body of the glass to produce the finial (mostly).
