This part II, based on Kralik glass, is even more fraught with disputed attributions as many pieces have some matching decors or shapes to other production houses, which is the source of much negative reactions from other collectors.
I do my selections for my site based on my beliefs, if it happens to bother some people so be it. I never worry about that. I have the right to decide what my conclusions are. If they differ that is not meant to be for a personal motive.
In fact I disagree myself with lots of attributions of Czech Glass made by others and published on their glass website, Pinterest, Ebay, goggle blogs, Facebook, CW, etc. That is the freedom of speech we enjoy.
Image 1 is from my AAG article about CZECH art glass with permission, about Kralik in Part II. Image 2 to 4 are selections from my Kralik glass collections.
I also think you can share your knowledge without persecution. I will acknowledge I have changed my position on certain pieces. I hope you dodnt take it personally when there are disagreements.
Thanks Ms Crystalship, your understanding is appreciated.
Jericho,
What we collect, the Czech interwar glass requires us to be flexible. it's a fluid landscape, when we continually find out more and more glass pieces and information. It has to affect our previous understanding. Thanks for the comment.
