I picked this up at a boot fair on Sunday and thought it was Chribska but have been unable to find it in your catalogues Jindrich or find one the same in a search on this site.
It is 9 inches tall and starts off green after the clear casing and then changes to orange then pink. It has large fins that protrude from the side.
Quite a lot of wear on the bottom, so is this Chribska and if so what period? Many thanks in advance.

Yes Chribska, likely made in the sixties or seventies but could be later.

I would say rather 70-80ties
you can reach Chribska catalogues quite easy. Go to
www.webareal.cz/ceskloslovenskesklo
find in blue column on the left side the item KATALOGY (CATALOGUES) open it and scroll to CHRIBSKA, I collect there all catalogues available to me for the meantime.

Yes, thank you Jindrich I had looked through your catalogue resources before I posted and although I could see a similar shape I could not match the colourway. Thanks for making the catalogues available I find them to be very useful for expanding my knowledge.
I suppose the shape is the important thing though and that not all colourways are represented in the catalogues. Thanks for your reply, I do really like the piece but I may sell it on to invest in other Czech pieces.
Saying that after I have owned anything for a week I find it very difficult to part with and it is a visually stunning piece of glass art. :)

Yes, you are abslolutely true, ignore colours, shape is important.
But your colours are very much Chribska from 90 ties.
