Its shape is classic and slightly tapered, with a broad shoulder leading to a short neck and flat rim.

ABOUT
Kralik glass refers to the art glass produced by the Kralik Glassworks, officially known as Wilhelm Kralik Sohne, a prominent Bohemian glass manufacturer operating in Austria-Hungary during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Renowned for its innovative techniques and vibrant designs, Kralik created iridescent, marbled, and textured glass that rivaled Tiffany and Loetz. Their Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces often featured metallic finishes, organic forms, and distinctive surface treatments such as crackle or drapery effects. Kralik glass is highly collectible today, appreciated for its craftsmanship, beauty, and its significant contribution to the decorative arts of the period.
