Kralik glass production has not been researched anywhere as thoroughly as Loetz's. To make matters worse, most high quality Kralik glass is marketed as Loetz. I want to address a line of vases with one very peculiar characteristic: The have triangular handles punched out from the glass mass. This technique appears in one documented Marie Kirschner vase for Loetz (see Ricke 1, 210:238), except that the punched handles are round, not triangular. On this flimsy similarity, these vases are being marketed both as Loetz and as Kirschner. But they are Kralik.
[Note: for the longest time I called these vases "reticulated." I was wrong. Reticulated refers to glass which has been forced through a metal grid or frame]. Kralik's output involves opalescent glass. By now everyone is familiar with vessels in pearl white glass simply adorned with large teardrop decoration either at the top or bottom:
 1. TEARDROPS, AVC
The vases under discussion appear decorated and undecorated, and in a variety of surface finishes and decors. Truitt 1 shows a page of Kralik vases decorated by the Hosch Company:
 2. TRUITT 1, 77
These are in pale lavender, with a darker shading towards the top, as in this picture. This same vase appears in light green:
 3. OPALESCENT LAVENDER This is another variant, with a highly geometric decor:  4. ENAMELED LAVENDER VASE The same technique was applied to baskets and bowls:  5. LAVENDER BASKET   This bucket can be seen in the Truitt picture:  A whole line of these vases, with a double pierced lip was produced as well. Here we have them in pink, blue and green:  8. COLOR RANGE | A basket, in a dark pink:  9 . DARK PINK BASKET Kralik also made opalescent vases with "buttresses", of which I have 2 examples.  10. OPALESCENT, MOLD BLOWN This is a rare combination of transparent cranberry glass with an opalescent white top:  11. TRANSPARENT GLASS VARIANT The punched handles appear on other types of Kralik glass, as in this green martelé bowl:  12. MARTELÉ BOWL Two examples in Kralik tango glass:  13. YELLOW DOUBLE HANDLED  And finally, a shape comparison: Two different types of glass, same shape:  |
