I had a lucky morning at the market. I came home with a Frantisek Vizner 13139 vase for my collection. I'm so very pleased. The vase is heavy, solid and masculine... The perfect piece of glass. ;D

Hmmmm... so a few of us have got the 13139 vase. Just when I thought I was special... ::)
;D ;D ;D
P.S. Dirk, I do like your amethyst one.

Congrats, Anik! Finally! :hiclp:
dirk, I L-O-V-E your green one.... :mrgreen: Thanks for sharing it, I think it is not one of the more common colours!
I still only have the 5 seen in this thread. (which also has some interesting facts)

Congrats, Anik! Finally! :hiclp:
;D Thank you, px! Now that I've found my first one, I won't give up hope that I'll find a second, then a third... :hi:

Thank you! :kissy:
The amethyst one´s still from my pre-GMB time (aka the dark age). It´s a flea market find and has
two tiny damages, but nevertheless I love it a lot. It kind of reminds me to trust my instincts: I bought
it on an afternoon - nobody else had considered to buy it until then, not even for just 1€. Only some
time after I joined here, I had this ´Aha´-feeling, when I recognised what it was.
The green one is quite new here and was a lucky buy-it-now on you-know-where. :)

I will not challenge you with pieces from my collection :-)
The another issue. When you will take a look at this vase from proper viewpoint you will recognise the women siluethe. My wife Sonia had seen it just when I brought this piece home first time.
We have asked Frantisek and he answered:
"for sure, girl, we were young".
He designed this piece at academy, he was 24.

Jindrich, thank you for the additional information... it's fascinating. I also suppose stranger things have been seen in glass.
So how many 13139 vases have you got? I think the rest of the world has a hard time finding any because you (and px) probably have most of them... ;D
Dirk, my amber one isn't in 100% perfect condition either... there is a small knick near the top edge, a long but slim air bubble in the fold, a 5mm fault going horizontally through the body, and a few chips to the base. But nothing which is terribly disappointing. When I saw it from a distance at the market yesterday, I couldn't contain my excitement. It was placed right beside the Brabec vase I posted in another thread. I don't have a poker face, so I just paid what the seller (a young Slovak) was asking -- 25 PLN (about 6 Euro) per piece. I came home feeling like a hero. :D
