As I was saying the task of idetifying Czech glass items after severals years is not getting any easier.
Ruckl did not have many pale colored glass background with added applications either as spatters, or long swirls. In the last 6 months I have found about 6 of them. The mark if there is one is always the same, the oval acid MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Here what is left is MADE .... ..........................LOVAKIA.
Fabrication has several layers, exterior clear glass, a white opaque layer, a mix of glass swirls in blue, pink and grey, a white on white spatter, and another clear glass layer. I love this piece. Also made in USA by Tiffin as a console set in satin glass during 1930s. (seen in the BB catalog)
I love Ruckl even when there is little known of their production. I do think I have seen many pale stone type pieces - mostly in lamp shades. This is a great shape that resemble both Welz and kralik shapes.

This is a funny outcome Jericho, I went and set up myself to take picture on my big table beside the window, and found my camera needed to be charged, that was annoying then I remembered my cell phone camera, and took them with that, easy peasy.
Next move was to figure out how to download them on my hard drive laptop, for final touches and more research. Of course I took one with the whole bowl interior surface decoration.
Once I went trough all the hoops to get these image where they needed to be used, that surface image had disappeared. Too late, as I had deleted the phone images... and I hate to redo pictures, since you asked, we will see if I can add it to my next multi photo list of objects.
Thank you for the loves CW members always very appreciated.
I have added 2 partial pages of 1920s Ruckl line art decors, showing their light colored marbled designs. These pages were not meant to be highly representative of the finished product, rather a tool to choose a color, and the item number.
As requested, I found my image of interior view of the Ruckl bowl, with the full effect of the swirl decor and colors.
