Not much help I know, but it reminds me of a neodymium eel (yes an eel) that I ran across a few months back. Pieces was large I'll say that for it as it measured 20" in length. There was a gold triangular label on it & sorry to say I've forgotten the manufacturer, but it did have Czech Republic on it. Again, sorry not much help. Ken

This piece had been originaly designed by Miloslav Janků for Železný Brod glassworks (ZBS) in 70ties, but your piece is probably fabricated later, in ZBS Czech republic, 90ties or begining of 2000.

Can be seen in several colours, but alexandrite and citrine glass is sign of new piece.

Hi,
This information came from a full set of ZBS colour and treatment samples, in my Czech glass research materials.

I know that it comes from "Czech glass research materials" Marcus  ;D,
I want to know which ones exactly becouse I want to find it and copy it to my database.

I am trying to find and digitalise all accesible Czechoslovakian glass resources becouse it seems to me that this is the only way how to cover the subject completely. Fill the database.
