Loetz Rusticanas - different treatments

I have had a small, but nicely shaped 4.25" wide by 4.5" tall Loetz rusticana vase with a cut and polished rim for several years, and wanted to upgrade my example of the rusticana decor. I just found a nice rusticana bowl (which is often seen in a 4" diameter size) in a larger 6.5" diameter size, with a fire-polished rim and corresponding ground pontil on the bottom. It has a really nice blue iridescence to it, and I am very pleased with it - the combination of shape and size feel perfect for the vase.

The person I bought it from also included another Loetz rusticana vase in our transaction, which I find to be very interesting. It is a small vase, 4.75" tall x 2.75" wide, with a cut and polished rim, but is the first rusticana that I have seen in person with a glossy, rather than matte finish. Its iridescence is raspberry, rather than blue as in the other two. I thought it would be nice to show all three together to illustrate how much the decor can vary from vase to vase, even when in the same 'Creta Glatt' color range. By the way, the large 6.5" bowl is surprisingly heavy for its size.
