This is without doubt Welz's production.It has a lot in common with other Welz's baskets e.g. the shape of a lower part and the surface structure or type of a pontil mark.I bought it from a very known and honored professional,the author of a book which is often cited,on CW too,but her attribution was different.This confirm my opinion that Welz and his extremely various and abundant production is still a kind of a niche,particularly in my country.

I'm curious - what was her attribution?
IF the book is old it could predate the recent mushrooming expansion of knowledge on Welz.
Her attribution was Kralik
Peggy,the book was released in 2012.I've read some reviews in which her attributions (not concerning Welz) were discussed.
This is a great piece, a classic Welz basket in an unusual decor. I am curious as to the title of the book you are referring to, if you would be so kind.
The title is "Fritz Heckert.Kunstglas Industrie".I wouldn't like to be misunderstood.I just wanted to say that I bought the basket from the author of the book and her opinion was different.
Thanks.... I understand. I was simply curious. Zelasko is firmly entrenched with the Passau, and the Glasmuseum Passau has very little interest in Welz production. It was not a line or style of glass that the founder of the museum George Höltl had much interest in.
I entirely agree.The book was published in German only and it is not likely to be published in Polish. dr Zelasko was a longtime researcher at The Giant Mountains Museum in Jelenia Góra which has a good glass section.
With that said, some of her attributions have been a little on the controversial side. :-)
Thanks Ivonne - I didn't doubt this was Welz, the shape is unmistakable, but it is a décor that I don't see often.
I don't think its welz, reminds me of thos Tricolor vases with three areas or spatter, the colors also look more modern, I do believe this mold at the base was used by welz but probably not exclusive (especially after Welz closed)
