Hi there,I hope everyone is well.Could someone please confirm that this vase is by frantisek Vizner.If so does it have a generic name.For example waisted vase or lens vase.Also what is the correct colour description.Lilac or Amethyst.The dimensions are approx 21cm high, 10cm wide at widest point,7cm at narrowest point and the top lip is about 1.5cm thick.The weight is approx 1354 grammes.Do these vases come in different sizes and shapes. Are these vases more common than the lens and waisted vases.Thanks in advance.
Nemmie:
Yes it is Vizner, no it doesn't have a generic name that I am aware of. I would say the colour is Amethyst.
Tapered, waisted form with quadrant ribs. Pattern number 13139 Rudolfova Hut 1962.

Hi there Nemmie.Thanks very much for your response.How collectible would this design be in comparison to the lens and waisted vases.Also do they come in different colours and sizes.

Edit:
It was made in two sizes 180mm and 210mm and was exhibited in 1972 at CLS, Gottwaldov
If by collectable you mean value then this would have a higher value to collectors as it is considerably more scarce than lens or waisted vases is in one of the most desirable colourways (at least over here) and is by Vizner (a lot of people seem to specialise in collecting his designs).
I have no idea what the market in Australia is like though and can only speak for myself really and I would certainly love to own it. :)

Thanks Nemmie.Here in Australia we obviously don't have as many educated buyers in comparison to Europe.But in saying that people are starting to catch on.I usually collect murano glass,but I have started leaning towards some of the older czech pieces.I prefer the more abstract designs.Are you saying that my vase is the 292 version.
