I picked up these 3 pieces coming back from vacation while looking for pottery. Minnesota is not known for it's Czech pottery or glass. I didn't find pottery but I was lucky and surprised to find these in one shop. None are marked and none have pontils. I would love to know the makers.
I believe the 2 left vases are Loetz (middle is oil spot and classic shape) and the third is Kralik of the honeycomb family. But I maybe wrong...LOL!
I forgot to mention these are all about 5 inches tall, not big vases. I found it interesting they were all about the same size.
They probably belonged to someone who collected them, that's why they're so simmilar in size. It's nice knowing they've got a new owner to love them!
I also thought of Lötz, at least for the one in the middle (pic 1). Canot tell about the others.
Thanks for the loves everyone. And also the information Moonstonelover21 and austrohungaro. The two pieces on the right especially are likely to make me a glass collector.
Wow - in Minnesota - terrific finds! Good for you! I love the one with the metal mount.
second Vase from left is Loetz Gre 1/473 russian green
" The two pieces on the right especially are likely to make me a glass collector"... Oh my, another one infected with the glass collecting virus!!! LOL
Thanks for the info and kind comments. But what do you do when you run out of room?!?

Thanks Sean68. Was sure you are Wis, and as you can tell, I'm Iowa. I've checked out your area as well. My mother grew up in Black Earth so I'm half Wisconsin. Still a Hawkeye at heart.
Thanks for the input Alfredo. Mn is not a place I usually think of when looking for Czech glass, but the dealer has a good eye. No one else wanted them and they sat in his shop for some time. Gave me a good deal just to move them out.
