What more to say, attribution is absolutely correct.

Pavel Panek (Pavel Pánek (*1945,  + 2008 ) was talented Czechoslovakian pressed glass designer. Becouse he had not got any university degree, he had felt himslef as an outsider in between Czechoslovakian graduated designers.

I had chance to speak with few from his co-operators and their memories were all the time same:
Panek had drowned his talent in alcohol. Anyway some his pieces had persisted and are currectly very collectable. In fact, some Mr. Vladislav Urban designs from begining of 70ties were unfair attributed to Panek becouse Mr. Urban had been found as "persona non grata" after Russian invasion to Czechoslovakia in 1968.

I personaly love Panek s pressed paperweights and his collection Boutique.
For more Panek pieces take a look to my web - section Designers
