Many thought this piece

Was Czech. Then along came Bob Bjork and said English. Now David Donaldson of Orlando weighs in

Bob Bjork has put it into the correct country with his commentary. These have always been from England, with some slight confusion re the Kralik attribution. However if you go to Loetz.com, one can clearly see that it is not Kralik. Incidentally, these bowls were also produced in a soft diamond quilted pattern. The reeding on them always reminded me of the difference between Carder and Fry.
