No name was given to this vase by Inwald and so we named it for the city in which the first example was reported - Prague.
The vase, featuring a simple linear cross pattern, was illustrated in catalogues of Inwald's glass in the 1920s.
Only a handful of examples are currently known.
The catalogue illustration of the vase shows a slightly bulbous form with two different top shapings-flared and incurved. However a further shape is known whereby the vase sides are not bulbous, but are straight with a very slight outward curve at the top.
