4 years ago I posted on CW a very similar ball vase that I identified as Ruckl's.This vase has the same colours and a dark lower part but this is the end of similarities.This is not satin glass,the dark part is made of burgundy not blue and pulled lines are not ragged.The burgundy layer is so thick /dense that even it is heavily backlit,I can't really see the colour.
I leave it not identified.
It is 18 cm tall.
Hi Ivonne, I think it is Kralik, they made their own orange spatter color mix, and your vase is more in their tones than the Ruckl orange mix. Maybe this is funny to some, but because of all the different spatter combinations the Czech produced, I studied the detailed composition, which helped in identification, when they were very consistent.
I did a post to compare the orange spatters, Kralik had a bright yellow and a pale tangerine orange and not much red.

There is also another vase, in a tall round shape that has this decor here I think.

Thank you for your input,especially for photos,as I couldn't find another vase in the same shape.
The first vase posted in comment one has been regarded as a Welz shape for quite a while.
The shape in this post is not seen often but I have seen it in decors which have, until recently, been solidly identified as Kralik. (There is now some evidence growing about Steinwald production.) I find this shape fascinating, because it is more commonly seen in the upside down version, also in decors until recently attributed to Kralik i.e. the same mold being used for 2 differently shaped vases!
This is your shape:

And 'upside down' version:

It is my understanding the shape was produced in 3 sizes. (I own 2 of them).
Final vase in Comment 1 appears to be the same shape too, although I haven't seen this decor in person.
Thank you,Peggy, for additional information.This widens my point of view.
Wow22,your links are very useful and interesting.I think I can say my vase is probably Kralik after I saw all the photos from you.Thanks :)
"The first vase posted in comment one has been regarded as a Welz shape for quite a while."
Maybe in some glass groups, but my glass vase shape is not generally accepted as Welz. The black rigaree application on the sides has been used by more than one glass house evidently.
Agree with peggy (comment #3)-- welz for some time now.
