This little basket is an unusual multicolour overshot décor. I would almost say "harlequin", if that were not pegging my colours firmly to the Welz mast. Okay, I'll come out and say I think it's Welz!
It is 14cm high.
I agree with the attribution. The rim crimp in particular is linked to Welz through a ribbed tri-balled footed vase with the crimp style. It is not a crimping style seen often enough that it would seem logical that it was used by multiple houses. The ribbed tri-balled foot the crimp example is found with is a design which I believe is a marker for Welz production, hence the link to their production.
The color combination of the spatter is Welzian in look also, and bears a mild resemblance to your "pointalist" trophy vase. Without a piece of factory documentation showing it, reasonable empirical evidence is the best we can currently hope to do....
The empirical method is used successfully for other Bohemian/Czech glass.... I suppose it is also works for Welz :-)
Beautiful Welz!!
