Sorry for the delay Michael, I have not been receiving notification of replies for some reason. I don't have enough knowledge to know whether the colour is more reminiscent of Moser or Skrdlovice, I thought the vase was very well made and a subtle and lovely tactile item.

That second one is fabulous, John - I've just dribbled everywhere!

Well, today the vase turned up again on the Viennese fleamarket, was much cheaper than before Christmas, and so it is mine now :rah:

I am very glad that John's is labeled and Robert added so much great information, so at least we know where it comes from (if not the designer); I would think it could be Stahlikova, as the most similar piece I have found in CGR is this one: http://picasaweb.google.com/Jindra8526/Glasrevue19588?authkey=Gv1sRgCIakrf3F_sXzLQ#5439620069745336450

Michael, another truly lucky and lovely find.  But I wonder if this item was only made in pink?

Good find, Michael.  Finding a much desired item at a lower price makes the weekend and your collection even more special.

I'm in Maui so no chance of that happening here.  I'll just have to go to the beach instead.

@Anik: the pink and clear does look more like a Moser blank to me, but not sure about that...
Maybe it will turn up in another colour combination one day :)
BTW, the softly indented base is very similar to that of your unknown small smoky sculptural vase. (Rather unusual base for Czech glass of that period).
@David: I would trade the Saturday fleamarket in Vienna (icy wind) against a stay at the beach of Maui at once! :sun:
Have a great time!

Michael
