The firm of Wilhelm Kralik & Sohne was founded in 1881, and concentrated on the production of iridescent art glass and applied threads, as well as a series of pieces inspired by those of Loetz. It also produced glass with an outer layer of silver.
Kralik is best known for his iridescent pieces combining white and pink glass with veins of other colours on the surface, as well as "hammered" glass with irregular textures.
The factory closed during the Second World War.
