Although this company is still murky I am going to post combination patterns for Ruckl as attributed by line drawings (that rare match up to real pieces) and the exhibit in the Czech Rep called Tango SKLO.
The difficulty is none of the actual decors are exclusive to Ruckl...
1. Winter wheat base, powder zig-zag and a confetti foot
I have seen few examples of this kind of piece where a cased glass decor is completely different than the other, my best guess is two punties were used and connected and one became the foot and the other the top; Ground on both sides?
2. Winter wheat confetti with pulled up (pull-up diferent from pulled stripe). This piece has a thick layering of confetti with a clear layer then a stripe was applied
3. Pleated base with confetti.
The Ruckl technique for pleats looks murkier than Welz (but beautiful as well). Confetti can look playful in different sized glass pieces
4. Pulled glass (marbled pattern) with pulled glass stripe
Murky? I guess it is hard to research what you can't spell.
Ruckl, sorry for the mistake
Great Post... love the last one...I bet its about 12 inches tall...

No Czechman, line drawings are not my only source. My motive is to add light to the Ruckle issue not cause confusion (the confusion was caused by the invaders of this glass industry who saw no value in pretty glass gifts but rather in war machine parts). I have many sources for Ruckl. I am not a researcher (never have been) if you think some of these are Loetz, Kralik, Welz etc... I would be glad to have an image to shape comparison debate.

I was aiming to answer the size question presented by jagsrock95.
