Thank you so much everybody I am sorry I have been slack in responding I do appreciate it very much....:-)
yeah, I was planning on suggesting this could possibly be loetz too but I was waiting to get around to looking at the book before making any comments. I am still not 100 percent sure this or Marty's is definitely Loetz.
If you get the time and find out would love to know, thanks Greatsnowyowl!...:-)
this shape isn't in the book. I am very interested in this decor because there are suggestions in the shape book that this might be loetz but I am not going to sure of anythign until I find one that matches one of the shapes in the book. more than one company did make similar on this style. Also not convinced of Marty's link being accurate.. maybe.. there is a close shape in pmc but not identical by any means. They're also saying 1902 but if it follows the shapes I did find that were Kralik like then it would be 1912. That said, almost all of 1902 is missing from the shape book. There is also a opal glass type with the same threading and raspberry in PMC.
I still think it's very possible these are loetz but I'd definitely not feel comfortable going up on a podium and annoucing it to the world as such yet :) Maybe.. maybe maybe.. :)
For me personally, this decor is one of those that are on the shelf to watch. it would be a jump to say they are Loetz at this point IMHO. But it's good to keep an open mind.
But, Gary.. No, I really don't think your piece is Loetz. that decor is not shown in the shape book in any form factor. there are a few others with varying branch patterns, but they all have more complex patterns than yours.
the other pattern in the loetz book that is typically Kralik shows the drip rigaree a half inch down from the rim or so going around it.
I think what probably happened is a shared commission or two with Kralik. (we know they did it.. and Kralik was a customer of Loetz as well)
I just went back to recheck but this base color white opaque iridescent opal glass isn't represented in any of the museums we went to in the czech republic or Germany with applique.
This is the example in PMC
