This decor has so far been clearly identified as the "Lines & Canes" of the W. Kralik glassworks. Based on new information, it is clear that this is a product of the Ernst Steinwald & Co. glassworks. The second photo (an ad from the Carson Pirie Scott & Co. Catalog from 1931) shows a bowl of the same shape in the design of Steinwald's Flowerall decor. The third photo is an enlarged simplified drawing of a bowl of the same shape from an advertisement by Ernst Steinwald & Co. from 1930 (see my older post). The last photo is again an example of a combination of decors often used by Steinwald.
Five Flowerall Forms. Interesting advertisement.
Sadly, I found the ad on ebay in the USA, I bought it, but the shipment from the USA to the Czech Republic was irretrievably lost. At least I have that photo left.
Maybe someone here has a copy of the catalogue ???
No41 relates to 1932. That date would not be too early ?.?
1932 Carson Pirie Scott Wholesale Catalog No. 41: Jewelry, Diamonds Silverware, Watches,Glassware Hardcover – January 1, 1932
Hoping to get more information, I bought the entire catalog of Carson Pirie Scott & Co Catalog No. 39 Jewelry, Silverware, Glassware - unfortunately there was a minimum glass (about 2 pages) and nothing from bohemian glass.
Lines and Canes was offered by Butler Brothers in October 1930.

Yes, I am convinced that everything in the photo from the BB catalog is Steinwald (I am not entirely sure about only 1 subject).
Fantastic piece of evidence, even if it is just in one bowl to connect the company to the retailer I feel there are many more connections. There is no problem with the dates because they are so close to production that its a moot point. If design were imported on a date they were surely in production 1-3 years prior
