SKLO "Dragon's Head Vase" ?
« on: August 14, 2009, 04:55:04 PM »
... just bought this vase

(... By the way: thank you to the GMB and its contributors as it has opened up different worlds. I had not heard of SKLO before browsing through the GMB and encountering numerous topics about this glass. The vase would have gone unnoticed probably ...)

Browsing to find it I first thought of the  "Dragon's Head Vase" (Frantisek peceny / Hermanova glassworks / 1972) but the only one I could find with dimensions was one that was about 25 cm.

This one measures 21.5 cm. The glass has a slight yellowy hint to it.

Is the information I found correct and was this vase also made in different sizes ?

One little point, Sklo just means glass. You mean Sklo Union.

Design number 20235, Hermanova hut, 1972, came in three sizes 160, 210 and 230 mm. Thanks to "Sklo Union. Art before industry; 20th century Czech pressed glass", Marcus Newhall

I would say the colour was fine, the quality wasn't always the same standard as the design
