Topic: unusual plate, producer? designer? period?

[evusa]

Please can anyone help me with identification this plate? About 30 cm diameter, on the back side with a plastic ribbing, and not quite smooth. Probably it´s some piece od Bohemian press-glass from sixties, but I´m not sure. Thank you for your kindness.

Interesting!  Looks cut to me.  Quite beautiful.

Another new member from Prague!  Welcome!

Thanks, nice greetings to Minnesota  Yes, it looks like cut, but I really mean that it is pressed.

This looks like a piece of Sklo Union pressed glass to me - and given your location it's pretty likely.  We need Marcus to take a look at this really - I've looked through his book (Sklo Union, Art Before Industry) but couldn't find that exact design but it is reminiscent of some of Peceny's 1960s woodgrain designs....

Yes, I know Marcus, his book and one of his friends, too  I´m looking for his (or any other collector´s) help.

Kristi,
I wrote already once that our Czech world is really small :-)
A lot of pieces from Marcus's collection originaly found Evusa in antik-shops in Prague....

We need Marcus, but he is somewhere in the middle of France celebrating Christmas, New Year or what else I do not know...

Hi Evusa

Marcus is extremely busy at the moment working on new projects but I spoke to him about your plate and he said it's probably late (1998-2006) by Rony Plesl for Sahm (Czech Republic).

I assumed these were much later, being stylistically like some of Rony's work.

So Sklo Union, pattern number 20444/310, for Hermanova hut', lis bez kroutku, (ring-less pressing) 1987, and designed by Miloslav Kubinec. Also made after privatisation, when SHH supplied Sahm Gastro shops.

Documented in Glass Review, 1990, issue 9, page 18.

Many thanks, Marcus :-)
