This is a sister post with Kralik1928:
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/259039-kralik--making-a-connection
In that post I outlined how you can make an educated guess when buying some obscure Czech decors. I showed how to link by decor or shape to more KNOWN Kralik pieces. I hope you agree with the attributions but if not- then more images and shapes are needed to make the connection
1 - The distinctive shape connects to the pull-up decor. The decor connects to a Hexagon bowl in the same pull-up decor with a signature
2- The distinctive square shape matches the piece to the right in the diamond Pattern. The diamond decor can be seen in the Knuckle bowl above. Additionally the powder decor can be seen in the Passau museum (under Kralik) - it is a tall teardrop shape
3 - The red-white-blue zebra cane piece comes in a larger Deco shape. That same Deco shape can be seen here in a pattern of vertical stripes of powder and confetti (I call it snake decor). The same pattern can be found in this green version with a distinctive "Christmas tree" shape
4 - The powder honeycomb shape can be tied to either of the two shapes. Is is the same exact process: confetti first then an overlay of powders to make the honeycomb.
This one was little harder to nail down- If you look at the BB catalogue you can find this punched-in shape surrounded by Kralik pieces
Merry Christmas and a happy new (decor) year!
Got it!
It's not that I disagree with your attributions but I do have a question. Picture 3 - the fact that I have never seen these decors and have been unable to confirm the shapes anywhere probably means nothing but, since you mention the possibility of further connections, do you have images of these shapes in more recognizable decors?
Again, I am judging from just your pictures without touching or even knowing so much as the sizes involved but am wondering if there may be some relationship between the items in picture 3 and the first three items you posted here - https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/256080-czech-glass-mottled-confetti?in=activity
Art, I will post some more in the snake decor but I don’t find any relation between the # vases and that mystery confetti post
Thank you. It is difficult to draw any conclusions from looking at two-dimensional images and I'm still pretty new at making connections. I would like to see more of the "snake decor" - thanks - you can send them to my email (it's at the end of my CW bio) if you don't want to write a post.
