Two more :D

Jirina Zertova threaded ashtray, 14 cm diameter, PN 6511 (a little bit unusual execution as the blue threading is almost completely marvered in the brown glass).

Chunky Vizner vase, weighing 1.5 kg at a height of 13 cm; not really sure about the PN ???, but with that style of neck it should be from the 1970s I guess...

How odd about the Zertova... but it's a beautiful piece. It's a great shape and a gorgeous colour.
Great find, Michael!

The other piece is interesting, though for some reason, it isn't making me oooo and aaaaa. Could it be the 7603?  It looks like a good match.

Thank you, Anik! :-*

The Zertova piece is very attractive, goes well with the Palecek mica vase. (And it is in pristine condition, complete with red label).
What I hadn't expected is that it is colourless glass cased in brown glass; I always thought they were brown throughout...

The Vizner vase is much better in real life, so chunky and massive, I am really happy about it (I love the fat flat rim, very Vizner, my first piece with this feature). It was even appreciated in my household as an attractive vase, doesn't always happen with Skrdlovice ;D
I am sure you are right with the PN you suggested, though it looks like the pattern had some regularity to it in the drawing, while it is totally random in my vase.

Two really interesting pieces, especially as Vizner and Zertova seem to be my main interests right now.  The brown vase does seem like Vizner, but I can't see a pattern for it. The surface treatment looks very like the patterns around 8225, and there's a later version around 1986. The flat rim seems to be a feature of pieces around 1973-2. Oliva did a surface treatment like this as well, (I think they're sometimes called onion pieces), but the flat top is very Vizner.  A good research project and a great find.

Thank you David!
I saw that vase on German ebay, it was the only similar piece I could find...

If the rather regular pattern in the drawing doesn't indicate too much I would think the PN Anik suggested (7603) seems most probable atm, as hight, rim and overall shape are right.
That one seems to be a relative of the pieces from PN 7541, where the drawing of the hotworked decoration looks a little bit more random -- and more similar to my vase.

BWT, >> this is gorgeous, where is :mrgreen:?

On looking at everything again, I've come round to Anik's point of view, that the piece is indeed 7603.  The pattern 7603 is shown with all the lines running vertically or horizontally. When I looked at the pieces I have from that series, none of them quite achieve the same consistency of the markings being either vertical or horizontal. Yet the alternative, 8225, is far more organic and on the diagonal. So, I'd lean towards a confident attribution of 7603. Congratulations on a great piece, again.

Finally I got around to take pictures of my new additions

1. Beranek piece by Ales Valner, probalby around 1992, but I'm unsure of the exact pattern number. It resembles 9298, but that one is taller.
2. Finally, the tall version of Ladislav Palecek's very nice blue and green 7719

Also picked up a nice little Gabrhel (I'll put it at my website if anyone's curious)

Astrid, it's so good to see you back! :)

Nice items. I do believe your purple vase is the 9298 (it was made in two sizes according to the catalogue: 20cm and 28cm).

By the way, your Gabrhel pieces are lovely (not to mention all the other gorgeous glass). Super collections!

I hope I'll find a bit more time to hang around here and collect more Skrdlovice (of course)... Thanks for the update on the 9298.
