I have seen this series a few times and the decor is spiraled and raked in the same way as many others. What makes these pieces distinct is how much they weigh- They are very heavy!! two of these shapes are shared with cluthra vases that have a grid or fern pattern. I have been told that Harrach made them but I lean towards Scailmont.
On Identification: I really don't know but maybe these posts will help new discoveries and bring about documentation or a piece with a definitive label
These are very appealing and there is a Scailmont shape of vase that is similar to this, I woould have to go look at my files.
The reason I am familiar is I did a page about Scailmont on my website because some of their decors were quite close to the Ruckl 'shimmy' style of spatter and colors. One thing I noticed was that they used much less of a wide range of shapes compared to the Czech glass houses, so much easier to in down as far as ID.
This mold vase shape is the closest I found to your pieces 1 and 3, and it was used in all kinds of glass decors.

It’s a similar shape - the thickness is very much the same
