As I mentioned elsewhere I came across this in a local antique shop. It's one of the décors shown on a Ruckl catalogue page reproduced in Truitt II. It's satin glass and of a good size. The glimpse of blue in image four tells that the black is actually cobalt blue.
Not marked of course, this is the UK after all!
Height 20.5 cm./8 inches

I've not seen much of this glass in Australia - the satin finish combined with spatter is very attractive!
If I remember correctly Ruckl was producing art glass for about two decades, a much shorter period than the other Bohemian companies......which may explain it.
In fact,the 'black' is cobalt blue,very dark and this is visible on the surface in a full light.I've just checked my ball vase .
Hi Ivonne, yes and you can just see that in image four.... Your ball vase is lovely btw !
I'm glad you posted this Peggy as it is similar to mine (in shape) which I am still convinced is Ruckl:

What strikes me about your vase is the polished pontil. Apart from Kralik Tango bowls you hardly see them.......
Phil, I was referring only to Czech Art Deco pieces.
Yes - I understand and agree the pontil and polished rim are unusual, but actually I have a handled Ruckl satin vase in the same décor as yours here and that has a polished pontil and a black 'piped' rim, like you see on Welz pieces - anyway, I'm still pretty sure it's Ruckl.
Forgot to mention - nice piece by the way!
WOW !!!
I really love how the satin finish changes the whole aesthetic of glass. This piece is so dramatic; without the sheen the colours seem so much more intense. Wonderful piece Peggy!
very nice.... similar to the little one with this decor
Phil, I wasn't suggesting your vase wasn't Ruckl as I have no idea. I was just surprised by the base.
THANK YOU, vetraio :)
Thank you, Karen, I think you nailed it!
Thank you kivatinitz, just so :)
Thanks to all who troubled to look and 'love it'.
