Topic: Green/blue vase, identification. ID = Skrdlovice

[Bottlecollector]

Dear forum members,
help is appreciated for the identification of this heavy green/blue vase.
Somehow Sommerso style, my best guess goes to Czech or Bohemian
manufactures, but not sure at all.
Many thanks in advance, Martin

Martin when you put up glass for identification you need, in most cases, to provide three or four different shots.

1.  A Normal View - you have provided that.
2.  A clear shot of the base - this helps eliminate places it is unlikely to have come from most times.
3.  A shot of the rim.
4.   If there is a making of any type on or near the base a clearly focussed shot of that.

Does the vase have two clear "wings"?  Is it actually triangular?  One shot is not enough to tell.

I actually agree it looks Czech at first glance.

Hi Ross, thanks for your answer. Of course, to little information from my side.
Two more pictures attached, bottom (no marks, etchings, etc.) and rim. Clear
to see the oval, lens-shaped diameter, no triangle. Two small, wing like stripes
on the sides.

Thought you guys here are so much into the glass theme, it's just a quick overall
peek for you to, to instantly identify manufacture, model and maker!

Best Martin

My speciality is basically Australian Glass.  I do agree with you probably Czech.  Hopefully one of the experts in that area can confirm or deny that.

Lovely piece.  It is indeed Czech -- designed by Jaroslav Beranek for Skrdlovice glassworks in 1954,  pattern number 54181.

Hi Anik,
wow! All I wanted to know! Thank you very much!
Result is noted, piece added to the Czech department of the collection!
Nice xmas holidays and happy new year,
Martin

Still with us Martin?

@fontanazul: looks good!
Size is not really an issue, I have seen them from 23 cm to 27 cm height.

There is no other Skrdlovice design I have seen more pieces (and more colourways) of -- must have been really successful, and in production for many years.
