I've had this a while but thought I would post it as the knob or finial is not as common as some made by Welz. There are four indentations or dimples around the pot itself but almost lost in the spatter.
Diameter 11 cm/4.25 inches

Fabulous finial on a great find.....
BEAUTIFUL Welz!

Thank you both, much appreciated!
Love the dimples. I have a bowl (damaged unfortunately) in the same decor (no dimples) that also has an unusual finial, shaped as a dogs head.
I had the bowl for the lid on the top right in the third photo...but sold it a few years back! Otherwise I would have sent it on to you...
Now a dog's head is rare, Fran.
IronLace, actually I have the bowls to all of the lids but wanted to concentrate on the finials.
That lid picture is just great, Peggy. Images like this are SO helpful to glass collectors and tell so much! Thanks for sharing his one!
Nice that you think so, Michelle. I have been criticised for paying heed to details, but if they appear frequently they can play a part in identification.
Details are SO important and make all the difference! I completely agree with you about their importance in identification. Skipping over these things can lead to the wrong assumptions at times.
IMHO, anyone that criticizes you for paying to much attention to details, is someone whose opinion should be called into question when discussing glass attributions. There is no detail that should be ignored or overlooked. The smallest details can at times, indicate some of the most important differences.....
As an example there was a discussion in the Welz group on facebook where Dirk posted a pair of vases that were extremely close to a Legras drawing. He posted them thinking they were Legras, although the decor looked like Welz Oxblood and White. At first glance, the two shapes appeared to be basically the same.
A detailed analysis of the Legras line art and the vases he had, revealed that there were indeed some small differences between the two examples as compared to the Legras line art. The conclusion, was that his examples were Welz, and the small details were what allowed the two companies to be differentiated. Those same differences appear on other examples of the shape by Welz, so the differences, although small, are consistent between the two product lines.
As they say, "The Devil is in the details".
Michelle, Craig, I do appreciate your comments.
Agree with others-- details are very important.
SIMILAR and SAME are very different conclusions.
It was inattention to detail that led to so many ruckl attributions and attention to detail that quickly called much of that "analysis" and the corresponding attributions into question.

Thanks, scott :)
