There are so many patterns to collect! I would like a Roubicek like that and I also would like one of those Vizner ball vases in that pattern too... I have the Hora painted scribble type vase in two shapes and the Jezek. These are all worth owning in my opinion.... but the Roubicek and Vizner items are definitely more scarce... collecting Skrdlovice is an endless quest!

Nice Wünsch vase, Adam! I hope to find me the bigger version as well one day...

Two additions here:

- really impressive (27cm  high, 10 cm wide, so quite different to the 8 cm given in the pattern book) Vizner whirlpool vase
- Emanuel Beranek jardiniere, about 21 cm wide; unsure about the PN, maybe 5904?

Great Vizner, Michael.

Interesting that you should post the dish -- I saw exactly the same piece this morning at the market, but dismissed it as Chribska and moved on.   ::)

Michael, is it possible that the dish/jardiniere really is Chribska?  It looks very much like the one in the 1999 catalogue:  here.

I'm having a slow-brain day, so I could be mistaken.

Thanks Anik!
The Vizner is so huge and heavy, a really impressive lump of glass...

As the bowl has the exact same colours as >> this one I showed a few weeks ago, I have not much doubt it is Skrdlovice and from the same "range". I still struggle with the PN.
Funnily, it was sitting amongst several pieces of Chribska when I spotted it ;D

The one in the catalogue you linked to seems to have pulled lobes at the underside, so I would think rather not...
edit: Forgot to mention: it has an engraved "II" at the base, which we have seen before in Skrdlovice from that period.

I have this jardiniere down as 5991, nice pieces, admittedly the drawing is not great....... (It is in CGR as such as part of the Victoire collection)

I'm glad I was mistaken, Michael!

I also got a new piece for my Skrdlovice collection:  a beautiful Vizner azur and blue triangular whirlpool, pattern number 7406.

Wow, that's phantastic, Anik! Beautiful colourway...

One seller here at the fleamarket has the same vase in dark green glass; he claims it is Murano from the 1960s, and wants 200 Euro for it... (I told him that it is a Czech piece, which really annoyed him, and he refused to believe me ;D)
