I'm very interested in this discussion, as I just received a vase in blue-green that looks similar to the one to the right in Jindrich's picture. Is it OK to broaden this topic in this way?

The label dates it ZBS, but later than John's vase (according to Mark Hill, between 1960 and 1980).

Was it common in Czech glass production to keep on producing a design after the death of an artist? And how common was it for another artist, for instance Klinger, to draw inspiration from an earlier design and make his own variety of it?

Jindrich, thank you very much for your hard work.

The available information including the book quoted in the article above does then point to Mr FrantiĊĦek Zemek as designer.

The 'style' of the design strikes me as from the fifties (I appreciate this is somewhat subjective).

Astrid, it is usual for a glassworks to keep producing (or even modifying) a design after the designer has moved to another glassworks or....
All designers are influenced by what has come before, inspiration has to come from somewhere. There is a great tradition of variation on a theme in both design and art.

John

Hi Astrid,
in fact in communistic system nobody had taken care about author's right very seriously.

you have to accept that I have little knowledge of this glass but I just need to add that having looked at another recently posted in the last few days, I hadn't seen the link to this thread before I started looking in books and ...
in Ceske Sklo z let 1940-1980  a private collection part 11
I came across a vase on page 10 that immediately reminded of the vase in question. It's not the same design but has the wraps and the very same spirit :)

it's no 14 designed by Frantisek Zemek
Vasa model c. 52068 navrh do r. 1957
sklarna Palme-Konig Kostany u Teplic (Lit; Wiesner Richard: The Old and the New. In: CGR, sv.12/1957, c.8, s. 2-8, obr. na s. 3

I think that and these are the same maker i.e. Frantisek Zemek and if so - is Palme Konig relevant to this thread maybe?
