This is a size and type well represented in our Bible (Truitt II) and 2 sizes appear to exist for this form - 7 3/4 inch and 8 inch. This is the latter. I bought thinking Kralik but now am 50:50 Kralik:A N Other. (All the Truitt Kralik decors in this shape are 7 3/4 inches).
The webbing is reminiscent of Kralik in its application at base.

Hi Ian.
Although this form is similar to the Truitt shown Kralik form, it is actually quite different in at least a couple of ways. The neck on this example is broader than the Kralik examples.
The biggest difference though is that the Kralik version of this shape actually has a foot, where this example does not. I have put this example next to a Kralik example in the following link. If you look at the base of the Kralik, you can see the edge of the pad style foot found on the Kralik examples.
I have classified this décor as unknown for many years, as I have not seen it on a shape that can be solidly linked to any particular house at this point, although I have images of what appears to be this décor on multiple shapes. Does that exclude it from being a Kralik shape? No it does not, but to me no attribution is better than an incorrect or unsupportable one.
Here is the shape comparison.

Thanks, Craig, so confirming my suspicions. At least it's Czech or European at the VERY least! :-)
Absolutely Ian :-)
Very elegant and artistic!
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier, I think this it’s a very nice piece that I would have called kralik 100% a while back too.
This is still a Kralik shape for me. I own a 9 inch example in definite Kralik millefiori decor with semicircle provenance mark. My example has no foot.
