Are all these pinapple vases sklo??
« on: August 20, 2009, 11:56:30 AM »
Hello everyone,
 I was wondering about the 'sklo' pinapple vases that are on sale on various sites on the wwweb. I have purchased one recently and was wondering if anyone can tell me anymore about it, is it sklo/Czech for a start? Everyone seems to be calling them sklo vases are they right?
Slainte, David

Yes, it's a Sklo Union design - I can't remember any other details off the top of my head but will check to see if/what Marcus' book says about the designer.

Sklo is simply the Czech word for glass, so yes they are sklo, but sklo is not necessarily made by Sklo Union!   8)
