This tiny opalescent beaker stands just 7 cm (2 3/4") tall. It has been blown into a mold, squeezed with a gadget or two, and sheared, with a ground and polished rim. The underside has an arched mark that is very similar to the Kralik mark. The bubbly-looking circle on the base is actually an indentation made by the (wooden) mold and shows the wood grain.
For size reference, it is shown beside "The White Queen" from a chess set designed in the mid-1930s by Zdenek Juda for Heinrich Hoffman Glass.
How lovely and so tiny! The best things come in small packages:) I love how you can see the wood grain indented into the glass, it's little things like that are so endearing with old glass.
