Vase + stripes and bubbles - possible Chribska Hospodka question

(1/5) > >>

Hi, I have a few days grace (no younger child ;D) so thought I'd do some more researching on odd bits I have with no attribution, but unfortunately also no camera as it's gone on hols with him and oh.

So, my question is:
I have a large heavy vase with vertical stripes which are 'sommerso' and made entirely of minute frothy bubbles.  The vase has three layers, a cranberry pink interior then this very definite layer of vertical stripes of tiny bubbles (the layers can be seen clearly near the base) then the entire thing is cased in a thick clear casing.
Plain polished flat base.
Any ideas on where I might go to search for designer/maker would be hugely appreciated as I am all out of where to look next.  Many thanks.

pondering some and trying to think how this would have been made  :-\ and wondering if it could be a studio vase?

The vase is 29cm tall, 9cm wide and the walls of the vase I estimate are about 10mm thick.  Fire polished rim.

So thinking on this -  if the inner layer is blown as pink, I could understand how a vase could have that then a controlled bubbles layer, or even a vase with pink inner and then a middle layer of completely clear pulegoso perhaps and then cased in clear, and how it might have been made.  But this has the pink  then has a layer of vertical stripes (estimated about 40 in total, a sort of 'pinstripe' effect) each stripe made of millions of minute bubbles so they actually look like white stripes from a distance but they aren't iykwim?  Then all cased in clear.  So what I don't understand is how you could have a complete layer of stripes alternating plain and frothy bubbles.  How could that be done? Would it be made with alternating canes somehow in order to produce the controlled stripes effect?

you're right ;D 
It's VERY irritating not being able to post a picture. >:D
 I'll let you know if I solve it before they come back.

The layered effect is very similar visually to this one, except mine doesn't appear to have such a thick clear casing up the sides as this one, and the bubbles on mine are not controlled individual ones like this.  But at the base, you can see the internal layer of coloured glass, then the middle suspended layer of bubble effect showing below it like this one,  then the clear. The effect on mine is vertical stripes up the vase made up of frothy tiny bubbles rather than controlled bubbles.
Not sure if that is any more clear :ooh:
