The group in the first picture are linked by shape. The 2nd and 3rd picture are interesting fascinomata that seem to share the tadpole décor although both are in clear glass that has been engraved with rather distinctive stylised flowers. Perhaps another Welz marker?
Apologies as the earlier post included an unsolicited image from another collector.

The tadpole decor found on the piece in the third pic, is a decor also found with the same engraving on a Welz shape documented as form 9246. Welz is known, as stated in Truitt I, to have employed a large number of engravers. Although, at this point, little has been identified as engraved Welz production, the last two examples above appear to me to be Welz production.
Here is a link to an image showing the documented Welz shape 9246 in the same decor as the third example. Both of these examples show in the linked image, also exhibit the small font acid stamp "Made In Czechoslovakia", as found on a wide variety of Welz production.

Great vases, Ian - I really like the clear ones - very different! I have never seen a deco style like that with engraving. Welz continues to surprise me! :)
And thanks for the additional info, Craig!
Here is a link to a grouping of the shape, including a décor link to a piece with the Welz "FWK" label sill in place.

Love the wall pockets! Giving us all something else to look out for!
Ian
That wall pocket is the only one I have seen that I was aware was Welz.
Those last 3 sure are purdy ;) :D
