    Here are my latest additions to the Ernst Steinwald collection. All these decors have so far been attributed to the W. Kralik glassworks. This attribution was, in my view, based on the incorrect identification of the "Marquetry" (= Steinwald's Flowerall decor) and Bambus decors for the Kralik glassworks. This error resulted in all the other misalignments, which were logically derived from the shapes match. I think this mistake occurred sometime in the 1990s. Until then, this type of glass was referred to only as bohemian, without specifying a specific glassworks. Based on the fact that Flowerall ("Marquetry") and Bambus were made by the Ernst Steinwald glassworks, the same method of comparing the conformity of shapes can be used to reclassify "Kralik decors from the 20s and 30s" to the Ernst Steinwald glassworks. Other arguments are matches for combined decors, decors from the lampshade catalog and also shapes from illustrative images from the ES&C advertisement.
    Vase in the 1st photo - the same shape used by ES&C with Bambus, "Millefiori" ... For the same vase, see Truit: Bohemian glass Vol. II (from 1998) - page 50, Fig. 7 (manufacturer not listed here). see for example: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/90919-kralik-shapes-7-the-basin-bowl?in=442-activity
    Photo 2: shape and probably also the decor as in the ES&C advertisement from 1931
    Photo 3: a vase with the same shape as the vase in the Teplice Regional Museum with the handwritten designation Steinwald (this vase has a decor called "diamond texture").
    Photo 4: decor, which also appears on vases in shapes with Flowerall and Bambus decor.

      I think the fan vase is Kralik, the lineage start with this shape in a decor where the base is red and white globs are applied and smoothed. This decor appeared on eBay late 2020 on an owl vase (squatty shape with sides pushed in and ears pulled up. That same shape type is signed in the silver foil mark, this silver foil mark appears sometimes on Kralik Lava pieces

      Thanks Jericho. Don't you have a photo of that vase with Kralik's sticker?
