I thought that Boule had wider gaps between the blobs, but maybe I'm thinking of Candlewick. Anyway, Boule is the attribution given to this in McConnell's Miller's 20th C Antiques.
Grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Chris

#1 is Sklo Union designed by Brabec 1970 patn. #5122180 Made at Rosice

Thanks very much, Pete.
Since it's around 8.5" tall, I imagine it must have been designated as the 5122/210, /215 or /220. And if you know that there's a /180, that means I have another one to look out for :-)
Cheers,
Chris

I have 2 of these both 18cm. I didn't know they came any larger. I am seeing this design being called Barolac.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-SKLO-Union-Barolac-Art-Glass-Vase-Jiri-Brabec_W0QQitemZ330146025925. Is there some connection with the 1930's Barolac Opalescent Deco items ? Design-wise I'm just not seeing it. Ed.

Ed, it is not about design, it was about marketing.
