Topic: Czech amber pressed vase - ID = Vaclav Hanus, Jablonecke Sklarny

[xcelsion]

I bought this vase yesterday and would like to know if somebody can confirm maker - Borske sklo. I found similar design here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Czech-Bohemian-Borske-Sklo-Amber-Bobble-Glass-Bowl-Mug-/170882470493?pt=UK_Art_Glass&hash=item27c963925d

Measuers: 17 cm tall, 8 cm in diameter

It's not pressed. You can't press something with a narrower neck than body. It's mould blown. My guess would be Italian.

The bobbly handled things aren't rare and I'm pretty sure we've never pinned down a maker

Well, I consider this one might have been pressed - recognizing mould seams in the corners (images 0028 + 0029) ?

Sorry, no idea about the maker 

[Lustrousstone]

No, it's been blown into a two-part mould. You couldn't pull the plunger out of such a shape. The pressed items that curve in have been reworked out of the mould
