<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desperate_fun, post: 147318, member: 132&quot;]I had a chat with my Glass Guru. I thought the piece may have been &quot;Ruckl&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to copy/paste my conversation with him. It will be easier and probably make more sense LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Me: <i>Another cross post for a friend. I have seen this decor online a few times and wonder if anybody could possibly shed some light on who actually made it. I have seen it attributed to Loetz, Kralik, Ruckl etc (I don&#039;t know why but I am leaning towards it possibly being Ruckl)</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Craig Orkney: <i>I have never seen anything supportable that would indicate that Rückl produced this décor or this shape. I do know that the mark has been associated with Kralik production. The key would be to find the shape in a definitive décor.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Me: <i>Craig, I thought Kralik only used the Semi-Circular acid mark.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Craig<i>: They are also linked to some straight marks, but one has to be careful. The marks are not a good method of ID in almost all cases... Like I said, I think the key to a solid ID will be based on a décor found on the shape which is identifiable. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I am not saying it is Kralik for sure, but I am saying that so far I have seen nothing in the way of sound evidence to link the shape, or décor for that matter, to Rückl. The same would apply to Welz... No link to them either. I do not believe it to be Welz production.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Me: <i>Craig, Thank you for the info. It is appreciated as always.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the bottom line is - Until that shape is found with another decor of a known manufacturer it will be difficult to pin down. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this info helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
