Finally found a Lednicke Rovne spiked, smokey green vase at an affordable prize :rah:
Any idea who designed it?
It should be either Jaroslav Taraba or Karol Holosko, I guess.
Unfortunately I could not find much in CGR; there is one article on Lednicke Rovne in CGR 1969/1, and the clostest in style is the amber jardiniere by Karol Holosko (http://picasaweb.google.com/Jindra8526/Glasrevue19691?authkey=Gv1sRgCI79voim54qFmgE#5513795285470412178).
@Anik: I do think that your amber vase with :no: interior could well be from LR; there was a thread about an amber spiked LR vase (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,7927.msg66920.html#msg66920) here on the board, and my vase does have a similar shaped interior to yours.

Michael, that's a great vase in a fantastic colour. I think you've solved a mystery as one of my 'unknowns' (bought from a person in Slovakia) appears to be its feminine cousin in blue. As for my amber 'interior well' vase, I did think it was Lednicke Rovne, based on its similarity to that vase/jardiniere in the 1969/1 CGR. :) Now if we could only get confirmation.
P.S. I apologize for the poor quality of my photos, but I've just taken them for this thread, and it's dark outside.

Very nice, Anik -- never have seen one of these in blue! :)
I like this range; seems that every piece is a llittle different. >> link (http://www.glaskilian.de/Zwei_Vasen_LR_THECHOSLOVAQUE.98+B6YmFja1BJRD05OCZMPTEmcHJvZHVjdElEPTQ3MzUmcGlkX3Byb2R1Y3Q9OTgmZGV0YWlsPQ__.0.html)

I do wish we had more information on LR and catalogues. Most of the LR featured in the CGR is glassware. There is hardly anything on their more artistic production.
-
That's true, Anik -- seems that there was some nice glass produced apart from the stemware.
Only thing I can add is what Leslie Jackson writes in her book "20th century factory glass":
...Also during the 1960s, Taraba designed coloured vases and bowls with simple forms, sometimes free-blown with restrained, organic shapes, sometimes mould-blown with regular, thin-walled forms....
So maybe Taraba is more likely than Holosko as a designer for this range?

BTW, check out my picasa gallery, I added a very nice Vizner vase (PN 13181) to my Sklo Union collection :rah:

Ah, thank you for the citation -- I haven't got Leslie Jackson's book, so it's great to get a little more information about the (possible) designer. I wonder if Jindrich could tell us more?
By the way, love your Vizner piece... I haven't got one, nor have I ever seen one in real life, but it's just my thing -- masculine and heavy. And it's in my most favourite (non)colour for pressed glass. :mrgreen: Truly wonderful find, Michael!

There seem to be not so many of these around (at least on the web).
If you find a coloured one I would gladly swap! :)
