    Hello Members.
    I have this Kralik Knuckle Vase/Bowl for few month now, i love the colourful spatter(picture 1) on this one, in addition this bowl have a nice solid Orange glass inner layer(picture 2).
    I recently made a good friend glass collector, he decided to downsize his collection, i was at right place at the good time, i guess, since we start this friendship, I acquire many nice piece of Bohemian Glass from him, this is one of them.
    This Knuckle bowl have a nice semi circular Mark at the base(picture 3), typical from Kralik piece "Czechoslovakia"
    This Bowl stand 5.50 inch tall, 5.25 inch by 6 inch at the top rim, on a 3 inch base.
    I hope you enjoy.

    Hi Alain,
    Why is it called a 'knuckle' bowl?

    @lauragarnet, I believe this is because of the shape of the Bowl, very particular to Bohemian Glass.
    If you Google, Knuckle Bohemian Glass bowl, you will see the first 2 row, they have all strange shape....
    But, i will comeback to you, now you got me in this, i will ask a good friend of mine with more experiance, just curious to know for sure.:watching:

    I'm just going to toss out my .02 cents worth here. I don't think this falls into the "Knuckle Vase" category. Kralik Compote or Vase, yes.
    Here is an image of a Kralik Knuckle piece. You can see the distinct knuckles (bumps) down each ridge.

    Alain,

    No problem. Some of these shapes and decors are overwhelming.
