Both of these vases have satin matte surfaces inside and out. The blue and yellow vase stands 8 3/8" (21.3 cm) - the more eccentrically shaped yellow and red vase stands just under 7 1/2" (19 cm). You may notice there are four perfectly round indentations around the base of the yellow and red vase.
I suspect they were both produced by the same maker as both have the same in-mold relief mark (not impressed or acid-stamped). I have no idea who that maker may have been.
Wowser !!!
Ruckl, I think.
Kinda agree with Moonhill, Matt glass and usual shape and the marking could be it, this is my 2cent on this, who ever made it, they lovely vase.
There is one on eBay to match the green-blue-yellow one.
I think the indentations were made by a mold (the same as the base). Ruckl is the lead contender but everyone made confetti (spatter, frit, end of day, glass chips) glass. if the shape can give a better answer or causes suspicion go with Ruckl....
Fantastic!!!
My suggestion would be that unless the ID is confirmed, go with Unknown.
The molded mark on the underside is not something that has ever been linked to Ruckl, at least that I am aware of. Additionally, neither of the shapes has been linked to them, and I am also not aware off either of the decors being identified as Ruckl production. In light of that, it would seem "Unknown Maker" is a more reasonable call.
IMHO, it is never a prudent move to call something "Brand X", and stipulate "unless evidence points elsewhere".
I would agree they are most likely by the same house.
I have probably made a few rash pronouncements since I've been here on CW but I try to control myself. A fair amount of Czechoslovakian glass has passed through my hands over the years but it has only been the last year or so that I've put any real effort into learning about it. I've always been satisfied with narrowing the pieces to those twenty years between the wars and still am. Learning the actual maker of a piece has been icing on the cake but I'm thinking that the surface is just starting to be pulled back in this area. Unknown Czechoslovakian is about all that I'm willing to commit to on these.
I suspect these are related to this piece posted by ianbrighton -

Thanks everyone for the loves and comments.
I like these a lot, and particularly the duck egg blue and yellow. I envy you the greater variety of shapes found in the US :)
Thank you Peggy - it's funny how I think the same thing about the UK.
It's that old adage, Harry. The grass is always greener............
