Sklo Union jardiniere, ovoid, horizontal ribbing
px:
This has happened before: I find something and buy it because I know it is from Sklo Union at quite nice. And since I couldn't look very enthusiastic or excited in front of the seller anyway in order to keep the price down I feel quite neutral. ;D
Then I get home and wash the object and look at it closer and Wow it's beautiful!! And after I've searched and found more information of it I am even more happy! :hiclp:
This time I found this jardiniere (by the way I do not know what a "jardiniere" actually is or is it just meant for the beauty in itself? - it is not very handy for flower arrangements, nor for candy? - and the word is one of the things I've learned from GMB :) )
Mine is 11,5cm high.
In Marcus N. book on page 80, mentioned with height 15cm and "pattern number and factory unknown"
But it seems Jindrich has learned from his meetings from Mr. Vizner that it is his design from Libochovice 1963,
pattern 3244/125 mentioned on his picturealbum, so I think: How many sizes there may have been?

That is lovely! :mrgreen: What a great find... but I was wondering why the label would be stuck on the inside of the jardiniere? (I know it's a small piece with ribbing to the front and back, but why wouldn't they stick the label on the side rather than place it on the inside?... just thinking out loud :))

Not unusual, Anik. I´ve got three SU items with the label stuck to the inside... :huh:

REALLY? So maybe it's not so unusual afterall, but it's still strange ;D
P.S. Talking about labels, remember the Laděna Víznerová vase I posted a few days ago (the one you, Dirk, have also got?) Well, I just realized that when I bought the vase (after seeing it in a picture supplied by the seller) it had 3/4 of a label on it. When I got the vase, the label had been removed! Now why would he do that? Half a label is better than no label :spls:
Lustrousstone:
Because non-collectors don't realise collectors like labels (and need to see the bases of things without price labels). ::)
A jardinière is meant for pot plants, but I suspect it was used as a term for something that is neither bowl nor vase and needed describing.
