Jan Beranek Designed Knobbly Vases?

Hi, just wanting to confirm if these are Jan Beranek designed Knobbly Vases.

Smaller one is 7" and the taller 8", both have flat polished bases.

The link below might help you clarify, (not just whitefriars) - setup by a fellow GMB member I believe.

Hi, yes, thanks, I have already been in touch with Emmi @ his Knobbly Blogspot (Great site). He thinks they could be, but we need confirmation from someone with more Czech Glass knowledge.

Ummm Emmi's a her not a him.

oppps, my apologies to Emmi and all.

Beranek is a closer spelling to the Czech glass making family (excepting, as we tend to do, for keyboard reasons, the accent on the "a"). I collect Skrdlovice when I can and there are quite a few similar patterns, see Magnor and Skrdlovice thread on GMB archive, for examples. I would be hesitant to suggest this is a Beranek pattern on these vases, though the heights and bases and colours seem OK, I have not seen these vases as Beranek patterns before. I can try to canvass Jindrich later in the week for his view though, to double check, sorry not to be more helpful!

Hi, thanks for the info Robert, hopefully someone can positively identify these.

Hope you don't mind me resurrecting this thread( found it on page 8 or 9) but my interest in knobbly vases is not just confined to Whitefriars, and I would rather like to know the maker of these two in particular.  Can anyone help please?

[bOBA]

Sorry, I did contact Jindrich about these a while ago and he agreed with me, thinking that they were not Skrdlovice, he may add more information when he sees this post though,

Thank you Robert, I am grateful for your original reply of course but just trying to pin these down once and for all!
thanks
