I bought this vase only recently. It was being sold as Kralik but I had reservations. Mainly about the flower, but I bought it anyway as I liked it.
My other Kralik examples have five outer petals and five inner petals but in image two you can see that newest one has only four inner and four outer petals.
In image three you can see the new vase between two other Kralik vases. The two on the right are textured glass and all three are in the same shade of green. The three stems are constructed in the same way. Each stem is the same colour as the inner petals and cased in glass of the same colour as the outer petals. Not all Kralik flower stems are cased.
Finally the bases of the two on the right show similarities, see image four.
Sometimes it's necessary to see things really close up to make up your mind.

What great glass you have shown today Peggy! This is so good; the blue is just beautiful.
Thank you, Karen :) A lovely compliment, particularly coming from you. I like this type of glass a lot, but it's getting ever scarcer at an affordable price!
It's wonderful!
GREAT colors on these-- BEAUTIFUL!!

Thank you, both, IronLace and scottvez :) They maybe a bit fussy for modern tastes, but hey, we like what we like!
Very pleased you think so, nutsabotas :)
I Love the blue flower, a colour I've not seen very often
Looking at the vases with applied flowers I couldn't remember ,where I saw something similar to them but I've just found the site.Of course , applied flowers on those aren't the same,but it might be interesting to see this style of decorations from less known Czech workshops.

Hi Fran, I too liked the blue flower as my others of this type are yellow.
Thank you, Ivonne. The overshot jug in the centre is especially interesting.
Thank you, jericho. I'll email tomorrow and take the opportunity to ask about something else.
Thanks for the loves everyone.......always appreciated!
adore this vases with applied flowers
I worried about mine being modern, but I put that to one side, while keeping an eye out for lots suddenly hitting the stores.
Sometimes, we are pleasantly surprised by the condition of some of these survivors.
Thank you, kivatinitz, I'm, pleased you like them.
I wouldn't have worried about your lovely blue one with the pink flower. It's when they turn up with something slightly different that you begin to wonder.....
