Here is the 11th posting from a group I just bought from a collector overseas. It consist of mostly Welz pieces, but there are a few "unknown" and a few Kralik pieces.
A pretty cool Pair of WELZ Translucent Lines & Spots cookie jar with FWK Label, classic Welz décor and always Love the original label. Measures 7" tall by 5 1/4" wide.
Is the handle wood or glass? Great match, particularly if wood.
I believe it is bakelite
Kitchen & Powder Room? Interesting how these match your other piece with them being in completely different places!
OK, how long are you going to torture us? How many more post do you have of wonderful glass?
shareurpassion...good observation. I think this was a popular décor for Welz
Thanks GlueChip... There's more coming :)
So many labeled pieces in the grouping!
These are all FANTASTIC.

Hi idcloisonne, I would date these to about the late twenties to thirties and produced by Franz Welz Klostergrab. Franz Welz, located in Klostergrab was founded as Antonienhütte in 1864 by Alois Welz. The family had been in the glass business for around 150 years at that point....They were in production until around the late 1930's. Franz Welz glass is most noted for a wide range of colourful artistic glassware produced during the 1920's & 1930's. Welz glass sometimes bears labels with the words “Royal Art Glass", "Franz Welz Klostergrab", or the initials "F.W.K.". You can find more information at Craig's website :
