It's a long period, and we are lucky that the core of this Czech glass company survived and was able to fill in the historical events that affected them, and what decorative glass they document for us 21st century collectors.
I recommend this site:

the link does not work as the whole address does not show up once posted, I will copy on a comment and see if that resolve the issue.
For a general view of their resume of how Ruckl fared over the years, and mainly how they used their hallmarks or logos. Two years ago, Jiri Ruckl died in his seventies, while still the CEO of the Nizbor Ruckl plant, his daughters were also executives with the company.
A consortium of investors bought all the Ruckl assets and developed a new vision for the glass products, a new logo, and a new retail boutique approach for their customers.

Thank you Kevin,the whole address is not showing up in the uploaded post, but if in a comment, it does not seem to matter.
Thanks Leah, of course I agree. I also know you have your own favorite glass that was made decades before these pieces. I found several important glass documents you might be interested in. TTYS.
One thing I noticed about Ruckl in my limited learning was that other than for black bases for lidded jars, there are not too many items with solid coloured inner layered glass. Is that a wise deduction? Bob
Right on Bob, the interior glass layer is more often than not clear glass, but there are a few exceptions, such as red.
