Blue vase with dots, czech?

(1/5) > >>

astrid:
It was sold to me as possibly czech. Seller thought it might be an '80s piece - I have nothing to reference it with so far. I love it! Didn't pay much because a few condition problems at the base and the rim. The blue (very thin layer, as you can see at the rim where the layer is chipped a bit) is encased in clear glass, the round bits are actually polished inwards for optical effect, and the opaque bits are created by a thin layer of something semi transparant that doesn't look like the other satinated glass pieces I have.

Measurements: 25.7 cm high, rim and base 6 cm at the widest and 5.2 at the smallest.

Any help appreciated, as usual,

Astrid

astrid:
I'm bumping this one, maybe it's not Czech, any other speculation as to origin? German wouldn't surprise me...

Try Beranek  http://www.beranekglass.com/default.aspx?lang=EN&btnNum=5
Nice piece shame about the damage.
I have quite a few of these as I used to retail them Sadly they are not around anymore but the websites are still up and well worth having a trawl through.

astrid:
Thanks Mike. Do you mean you used to have Beranek glasswork pieces around and this reminds you of them, or that you specifically had this type of vase around, acquired from that particular source?

scimiman:
Hi Astrid.
Yes is the answer to both your questions.
I still have around 40 pieces. I will get round to selling them one day but until then its nice to look at them.
I visited the factory in the Czech Republic on several occasions. It was amazing how they used to work. Once the government took away all the subsides they used to give all the Glass factories they just couldn't survive.
I now and have for a long time dealt purely with Richard Golding art glass see www.abfabglass.co.uk
Regards Mike
