The most frequently seen version of the décor 'Translucent Lines' is that seen on the pair in the background of image four. The main colour of the pair is white overlaid with amber. The main colour of the rose bowl is white overlaid with green.
The spatter on the rose bowl is different in colour and shape. Additionally the brown part of the red and brown spatter has mica inclusions. It's easiest to see the difference between the main colour of these pieces when they are pictured together.
There are other versions of 'Opalescent Lines' too.

I think the white here helps the black/red to stand out more. The browner vases are a dated aesthetic I think, one of the few of Welz that hasn't stayed fresh for me.
Great comparo Peggy.
Hi Karen, as ever, great to get your 'take' on Welz :)
