Anyone mind if I add this vase I found today.
Amethyst heart vase by Vladimir Jelinek for Skrdlovice made around 1965 pattern number I think is 6525

Thanks!
The line drawing in the patternbook from 1978 is totally useless in this case...

@ Chris: I do mind -- I want one of those, too
No, thanks for showing -- what a great piece!

Great piece, Chris, and not too easy to find.

Will try and get some better photos tomorrow struggling to capture the colour which is actually amethyst.

Classic Skrdlovice Chris. These pieces are really impressive, having quite a sculptural quality. There don't seem to be that many around these days. Well done for spotting it!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I like your new acquisitions too, Michael, the attributions are solid and I have not seen that Rudolf Beranek vase before, it is really interesting to see it,

Thanks Robert, really is a wonderful piece of workmanship.

Thanks Robert!
The Rudolf Beranek vase is an interesting piece -- I was sure it was Czech when I spotted it, but far from certain it was Skrdlovice...
But funny how tastes differ -- I think the Emanuel Beranek jardiniere is the much better piece of those two

And thanks Chris for providing a pic of the beautiful Jelinek vase for our thread
