    I thought I would post these before signing off to see if I can get some help identifying the maker of these. both beautiful vases, the larger being about 8 inches tall. I can't add much other than the photos, except I find no makers mark on either. Wonderful color, better in person than the pictures. I tried to identify them from various sites, but got more confused the more I looked. I didn't see similar shapes to help me. any help is appreciated.

      This is a Kralik peach oils spot. Gorgeous

      Thanks for the quick response. Looks like we have the same vase except yours is enameled. I like your color naming convention "pink-orange-peach". I couldn't decide what to call it, it depends on the type and strength of light and if a flash is used. You can see several colors on the lobes at one time, one of the reasons I like oilspots. Thanks again.

      I have a bit to add to this one...peach oil spot has been identified as a Kralik decor, but not necessarily in the case of the taller, lobed vase. I own examples of both of the vases that fishiowa shows (the small one in peach oil spot, and the lobed vase in a yellow-green oil spot), and I agree that the smallest one is most likely Kralik. However, the lobed vase is quite different - much thicker glass, you can usually see mold lines, and the oil spot coloration is missing the sporadic spots of amethyst typically seen in Kralik oil spot (a friend pointed this color observation out to me).

      I posted my own lobed vase on the Bohemian Glass facebook group, and it turns out that the lobed shape was actually found in a book (Moderne Glaser by Gustav Pazaurek, 1901) that attributes it to Rindskopf. Warren Galle and some other collectors are looking into this decor and shape further.
