    This one I think I am reasonably confident about attributing! Austrohungaro posted a lovely Welz knuckle bowl 2 days ago, and invited me to post mine. Well, here it is!
    I believe it meets the criteria for Welz set out by Obscurities and Jericho - no pontil, relatively thin glass, applied rim - blue in this case. Also, a Welz decor - see a version in a different colourway at http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/52238-czechoslovakia-glass-franz-welz-knuckle
    The only feature that I think may be unusual is that it seems to be flashed in a layer of amber coloured glass - although they may all be so flashed and I've missed it! To my untrained eye, the flashing looks a little like the beautiful Kralik iris pieces posted on CW. The last 2 photos show it pictured next to what I think is a piece of Kralik Iris (known decor) so you can compare the flashing - apologies for the pictures, the iris is very hard to capture. The "Kralik" piece, as you can see, has a lot of iridescence in the flash which is missing from the "Welz" piece, so I am sticking with Welz until I'm shot down!

      Thank you vetraio50, Obscurities and czechman for the loves.

      You are right LLL, it IS rare to see welz flashed (mirror finish). when Welz is flashed it usually looks satin-flashed, (looking closely you see micro cracks). the base color changes naturally from white- to ivory- to toffee depending on how long it is cooking (like sugar). the cream color looks wonderful and looks better on antique wood or slate surfaces.

      Thank you Jericho - it looks like I am learning, slowly and unsteadily!
