I just purchased my first piece of Kralik glass and thought I'd share it with you. It was listed as Loetz, but the other day while looking at Kralik.com, I found this exact vase under Silberband. I provided the link to the seller who then gave me a significant discount. I know very little about this vase, so any information you may have would be appreciated.

Great Fritz Heckert. Which I believe your vase is. I have a vase similar to yours

I maybe wrong. They are similar :)
Yup Lee, I can definitely see they're the same décor. Thanks for helping me identify the maker! BTW I love yours!

Rick, I love yours :). And you are welcome:)
Some years ago these silverbanded vases with "King Tut" decor have mostly been assigned to Kralik, thanks to the work of Stephania Zelasko at the Passau Glass Museum (for details, see her book) they are now correctly assigned to Heckert.
HECKERT
Fritz Heckert, design no. 491/8 (design book "400" on page 491 line drawing no. 8). This vase was made in three sizes: 22 cm, 16.5 cm and 10 cm (8 5/8", 6 1/2" and 4").
Glasfreund, would you be able to look up my FH on production number?

Rick55, I have to correct myself. Your vase is design no. Th 103, which is very similar. 491/8 is of a more slender design. Only one size, approx. 15 cm ot 6 inches.
Moonstonelover21, your's is Th 57 I, very popular design. There is also a smaller version with just 4 inches.
Glasfreund, thank you. I love to learn and I am grateful for all your help. I love Heckert and would love to acquire more. One day.
