Every time I find one of these, I get quite excited and do the 'happy dance'.
There is a series of about twelve decors now of this glass bottle vase by Ruckl on my website. Here I show the ones in my collection which amount to five overall. Their sizes range from eight inches high to twelve inches high. Usually not marked.
This pale yellow spatter is more subtle and also rarer, there is also a pair of tall candlessticks and a large flat bowl in this yellow, other shapes which also bear other Ruckl glass decors on my site's Gallery page.
The last image is from the Passau museum, first floor of interwar Czech glass cabinets, see cabinet number 22 on the left, second shelf from top, with the larger bottle vase version in the Ruckl 'coral shimmy pfau' decor.
I used to have one of these...in an orange, red, & yellow spatter (like the central one in photo 3, but without the blue). I sold it some time ago.
My big one which I don't show here, IL, is in that simpler orange spatter decor too. I think Marty in Australia has one posted on here as well. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/3901-bohemian-finds
Yes, that one is exactly like the one I had. Perhaps it is even the same one! I didn't know Marty at the time I sold it...will have to ask him if he got it from me. I was selling so much stuff in those days, there were several parcels a week going out & I certainly can't recall who bought what...
I had the same process years ago, it was a constant in and out delivery system, and knee deep in packing material. Was fun then, but too much now. :-)
I like the shape very much.I have a bottle vase of the same shape that I posted on CW 3 years ago.Do you think it may be Ruckl too?

I don't think so Ivonne. The angle of the wide base is more rounded on your beautiful vase. Your's is older than mine, pre 1915, I remember seeing quite a few of them with those metal Art Nouveau stands. Not sure if it was ever attributed as several glass houses were using this decor at the time. Perhaps a new round on the CW show and tell will bring new information for you. :-)
Thank you for your opinion :). I know this shape was attributed(among others) also to Rindskopf and it's difficult to identify a maker.
