This is most likely the production of the Ernst Steinwald & Co. glassworks from the period before the First World War (circa 1900 - 1914). The vase has the same decor (usually referred to as "Diamond texture") as two vases from the depository of the Teplice Regional Museum, which have paper stickers marked Steinwald. One of these vases is identical to the vase on the old Loetz site. see: http://loetz-bohemianglass.com/images/KRALIK23.JPG

I often wonder about these antique Bohemian glass items in Czech Republic Museums, and when they were acquired and from whom?
The British museums such as the Victoria and Albert decorative arts establishment, was founded in 1850, and right away they decided to keep detailed records of where, when who, and how their museum items were acquired.
This was highly useful information for Asian antiques, as for instance Japan did not participate in the Universal Exhibitions and World Fairs till after 1860.
So the question is, how can we verify what the museum provides as information with Bohemian glass. Did they accept claims when being donated glass pieces, or did they do some vetting of the facts provided them?
it kind of reminds me of a porcelain rhino horn libation cup.
research and study thanks a lot for sharing what you are finding
Unfortunately, the Museum of Teplice did not give me permission to publish photographs of vases from their depository. All stickers, both with the Steinwald marking and with other numbered labels, look very believable. Their serial numbers are in one sequence (about 3 objects from the series are missing). It is obvious that this is an addition to the museum collection from before the First World War. Unfortunately, the museum has not yet been able to find a relevant record of the addition of these exhibits to its collection. I consulted with dr. Lnenickova, who expressed the view that there was no reason to question the credibility of the designation of these objects. In addition, the museum is in the same place as the Steinwald glassworks. The Teplice Museum organized an exhibition at the beginning of the 20th century, which also included bohemian glass (represented, among others, by the Ernst Steinwald glassworks). From this exhibition there is a catalog with descriptions of exhibited objects.
that is really good information Ales, it gives a wider view of the Steinwald glass production from earlier in the 20th century decors and glass pieces.
Your example is one that I have always like, and I did own a large flower jar in those colors and the textured glass surface. There are several of these in my own image archives, online and hard drive. I believed they were Kralik as they have common shapes with Kralik and the textures are the same range of draped, diamond, ribbed, tree bark, and paneled optic interior surfaces. Also used with their transparent combinations and colored applied trails.

Lisa, I think the optic translucent glasses are a little different. I'm comparing it to these my vases (Kralik) - http://www.bohemianglass.org/katalog/kralik/1918-1945/karooptisch/
Lisa, I miss your website very much.
I think this decor cannot be put into one company yet, I would like to study someday soon at that museum... I look at the decor and see it as a small part of so many other mold types with pearl iridescent
