I'm fairly sure I saw those Romanian face pieces, I was very tempted, but unfortunately, my OH wouldn't let me.
I believe they are tributes to the work of Roubikov and Roubikova. 8)
I got all my Berankek tropical flowers and an Ales Valner vase, new in TKMaxx.

Good glass is good glass, wherever it comes from and whoever made it.

Hi, mine may have been made as tributes but somehow I doubt it - they’re just too quirky.
I suppose it was their quirkiness that prompted me to buy them  ???

When I can I’ll post (new topic ) some pics of one of them.  :)

I've just tried this so it does work.
Put Miluše Roubíčková into a google image search. Some heads will come up.
Her husband is Rene Roubícek, they did work together.
More heads and unusual work appear using his name.

Apologies. I appear to have lost some accents from Rene's name, I managed to copy and paste Miluše Roubíčková, but the interweb doesn't produce them for Rene, who should have an acute accent on the last e of Rene.
I'm afraid I only know acute and grave for accent names too. :-[

Hi, I’ve already googled M R’s glass images - did see several heads but unfortunately none like the vases I’ve got.

I’ll try R R now and see what comes up - if I see any remotely like the ones I’ve got I’ll let you know.

Many thanks  :)

Hi, absolutely nothing there to suggest mine were made as tributes to the work of M R and R R.

I think you’ll probably agree, and laugh your head off ( or cry ) when you ( eventually) see them  ;D

Perhaps Paloma Picasso then? She did glass heads too.
I am trawling the recesses of my very dodgy memory, here. ;D
