Christine, a great explanation thanks. Ivo, David, thanks to you both - I did search Czechoslovakian initially before posting and couldn't find anything but I'm glad to feel I wasn't far off base in my first thoughts. Feel like I am learning something as time goes on

I did go back to Skrdlovice after you suggested it Ivo and found similar vases to the one you posted David, in some exhibition pictures (I think??) that Jindrich had put on a while ago - however ones I saw were too far away to get a good look but were graduating to dark pink at the top.
Jindrich many thanks for replying

I appreciate it. One of those you posted was one I found on your site which led me to think it may be Hospodka for Chribska, but I couldn't tell if the decor was truly the same. They are really beautiful shapes. I hope you do come across mine in your researching.
thanks again
