Most of these are in the 7 inch tall range. Please see closeups for best views.
Pic#1: Left example - like the "iciciles", center one has green aventurine and the right example has mica inclusions
Pic#2: Left one is known Welz, the other two have cadmium "centers", all three have traces of greyish lavender glass
Pic#3: The one on the left has a Czechoslovakia provenance mark; this is the only trophy vase I own with such a mark
Pic#4: Examples with opalescent diagonal stripes are not too common. The right example has a "honeycomb" pattern
Thanks Leah - another "night owl" I see. I have some others that I'll try and post soon.
Almost all look like Welz to me. Just not sure about pic. 1 #2&3 and pic. 4 #2. Especially the 1st one in pic 3 - a friend in London and I have or had ones very similar in a different décor ("pattern"). http://Www.kralik-glass.com might be helpful? Ian
Ian-- there has been some fantastic research on many of these shapes and decors.
Here is a link that may prove most helpful in identifying:

The poster has done great work through research and analysis to attribute WELZ Glass.

Hi VioletOrange, what fantastic vases, all look superb! I was looking at the first one in the first picture & surprised to see the colours are very like this jug I've just got, which i know nothing about, at first i thought it was new but not sure now.

Hello, Can you post the middle piece in the third photo with more detail? The vase with the red lined oxblood and white spatter decor. Thanks!
Charlie,
Here are three additional photos. If I can assist you further, please let me know. Ernie

Most of these examples can be linked to Welz production through distinctive shapes and décors. Nice assortment.
welzebub, Absolutely none of these shapes or decors are found labeled Welz, sorry.
Thanks Ernie, As you know our son collects the red lined oxblood and white spatter decor.
I know that Charcoal, yet years of solid supportable research have accurately identified them in spite of that fact. :-)
Pleased to see a yellow Version of my Welz winged trophy vase in photo 1. I hadn't seen any others. BOB

The distinctive décor on that shape in this post, is actually shown in a Museum in Novy Bor in a Welz display. It is shown on a single piece pedestal/jardinaire style shape.
Years of "solid supportable Welz research", where real documentation is replaced with sound judgement and reserved thought, is worthless if it's contradicted by another manufacturers label.
Give it up Charcoal... Your 5 minutes is over.... Sorry Ernie...
No problem, usually you have to pay big money for a ringside seat - at a fight or a debate !
True, but this is actually much more like "kicking a dead horse" than a "fight or a debate". :-)
I believe in the Wisdom of Solomon.......you're both right!!
SEASON's GREETINGS to YOU & YOURS VIOLETORANGE !!! ! !!!
