I found a nice "off-square" vase at the weekend.
Standing: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-5350
Side and base: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-5348

6" tall. Very thick and heavy, and very reactive to UV. No maker's mark or sig.
It has a fire-polished top rim and "birdbath" base with a ground rim. The quality of the glass is excellent, with no mould lines, frit or bubbles. The base shows a fair amount of wear.
My guess would be that it's Czech from the 1930s.
Anyone agree?
Thanks
Chris

I'd agree Chris. :) Looks like the Frantisek Zemek vase at the top of page 124 of Marcus' book. :thup:
-
Yes, indeedy. Marcus wrote me that a while back. I thought it was on here. Obviously not. And obviously a lot later than the 1930s!
I've since acquired one in blue and one in purple, and arrived 10 secs too late to pick up a pink one at the local car booter.
-
I have a sort of pinky brown one too. :thup: (I'm filing posts so going through the unanswered ones to see if we can tidy them up! :))
-
Good idea, me dear!
I have some updates and confirmations of some items that I've listed previously. I'll try and look them out and put them right.
Cheers,
Chris

Great, thanks Chris. :thup:
