Topic: Heavy vase with prunts, Czech/Hospodka ID prob Koudelka for Prachen

Ahem....

This is the thread I wanted to bump, I am still trying to get a reliable attribution for this vase. Having just trawled through a large proportion of CGR I am beginning to think it may not be Czech, so I am really lost now. :cry:

It doesn't look like any Helen Munro-Turner I've seen (although I've not seen much) - and ahem, Nigel, it was the Juniper Studio, not Jupiter - there's an area of Edinburgh called Juniper Green - it's named after that.
Also, the hot-worked studio pieces I have seen by H M-T have been opaque greys and whites.

Perhaps I should not have mentioned Munroe, it's a bit of a red herring, just some sellers bull sh*t.

Found in three shapes and two colour combos so far, lovely quality but who made them?

 :sc: Up here, a Munroe is a big mountain.  :24:
Sorry to be so clueless about your vase, though John. I really like prunty things too.

That's all right Sue, I won't hold you personally responsible for not having an ID for my vase, or for any other that I buy on a whim either.

Today's weather however,  is a different kettle of fish.......

I'm afraid all my weather altering skills are currently being used up trying to ensure Michael has a lovely rock-climbing holiday in Skye. Wonder if he'll do the "In Pinn" again?  :sun:
It's horrible here too. I've had my thermal long-johns on again for about a month.

Are the prunts blue with the body of the vase being green John?
I do think it looks like a Prachen vase

Yes M, blue prunts green body.

I saw a copy of this years Millers Collectibles Guide about 10 days ago and they attribute this vase to Hospodka and Prachen, they show this same shape with an amber body and green prunts, these colours: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,5109.0.html

So assuming their research is good I can stop flapping about this one....

And in that thread you linked to, there is another link further down with a vase in the green body with blue applied prunts
excellent result!

This vase was one of my 'loose ends', I can 'tidy' it away now...

This helps to calm that part of me which would like to succumb to a little OCD, I now have a label for it and I can relax.

My inner nerd is happy...
