Found a fabulous covered dish by Kralik today and thought I’d share it with all of you. It measures 7 3/4” tall by 6 3/4” wide and is in their “Lines and Canes” design with a pink base and opaque pink body. I had posted this lidded dish in the Bohemian Glass discussion board on Facebook but I'm posting it here with better photos. You can use my photos! RER

A beautiful piece. However, I think that this is not the production of the W. Kralik glassworks, but Ernst Steinwald & Co. This decor appears in the shapes used by ES&C (Bambus, "Webbed", "Wave" ...).
Very interesting Larksel! Thanks! It is listed as Kralik "Lines and Canes" in a large Kralik Website. Are we talking same Era?
Yes. But the assignment of this and other decors from the 1920s and 1930s to the Kralik glassworks was determined at a time when information was not known that the Flowerall decor (referred to as "Marquetry"), Bambus and "Millefiori" belonged to Ernst Steinwald & Co. From this ignorance, logically generated most of the assignments to the Wilhelm Kralik glassworks at that time. Advertisements in the Butler Brothers catalogs also contributed to this, where a number of shapes with these decors appeared. On the basis of subsequent shape studies, other decors were identified, which at that time were assigned to the Kralik glassworks. According to my information, there is no other evidence for the assignment to the Kralik glassworks. In any case, this extremely demanding work logically led to the identification of a large number of decors in one glassworks. Today, in my opinion, it is clear that it was not the Wilhelm Kralik glassworks, but the Ernst Steinwald glassworks.
Thank you Ivonne, sklo42, dav2no1, vetraio50, BHIFOS, kwqd, fortapache, blunderbuss2, Newfld, artfoot, aura and kivatinitz for the loves. Bob
Unfortunately Alex has a difficult task ahead of him to convince the glass community about an attribution to Steinwald when DrPh Jitka Lnenickova used this same decor on a poster for her 2017 exhibition at Pask.

Alex’s discoveries are more recent than 2017 but the pix on the net from that exhibition show Bambus too and others that he suspects were made further north than Lenora. Not that I am totally unconvinced of the importance of his new Flowerall based research.
Until 2020, it never occurred to me that Marquetry and Bambus could be made by anyone other than Kralik. All this was changed by the advertisement of the Ernst Steinwald & Co. glassworks. The assignment of this type of glass to the Kralik glassworks was not only at the "Glass from Lenora" exhibition at PASK in 2017, but also at the Passau Glasmuseum and in a number of literature (but I think only from after 1980). I regularly consult with Dr. Jitka Lnenicková and I think she has already changed her mind. Dr. Lnenickova provided me with some important information about Steinwald.
Well that is the challenge, I think. If you can convince her then others will probably have to have a second look.
Thank you Wow22, IronLace, carmenisacat and mikelv85 for the loves. RER
I hope we can together soon and figure this out in the Czech Republic, even if it takes some time to change the minds of glass historians, appraisers, curators and dealers it is a good cause- thank you for this beautiful dish Laumanal, I have been convinced by the newer documentation to change this and many Kralik types to Ernst Steinwald. It doesn’t diminish anything about Czech/Bohemian glass to change a name
