So, I think this may be Kralik, I'm not entirely sure because I seem to remember a US Maker making something similar - long forgotten.
If anyone knows of this maker or it jogs a memory, please let me know. This is a fine piece, Amber Glass with a thin outer layer of vivid blue, great combination. Shows signs of surface flashing we might associate with Kralik (Steinwald), and is most easily seen, interestingly on the inside surface. 6" x 4" (15cm x 10cm)
Nice piece! Could it have started its life as an ashtray?
Hi Kevin.... I just tested it and it failed ; )
Durand?
Thanks for pitching in Sammyz - i dont know - I looked at some of their crackle examples and they seem to be much more complex, and beautiful actually than this relatively simple piece. It may still be Kralik and I may be mixed-up in my mind in regard to a US maker - but, hey, thanks again ; )
Still love even if it is a lousy ashtray.
