A mixed bunch?

One point about Wayne's label, on this item. This is an original importers' label, not a factory etikett.

Ok so does that mean that it was imported by a Czech company but not necessarily manufactured by one? Because the listing implies that it IS a Czech piece of glass. It also looks a lot like mine which is photographed on a site attributed to Chalet that someone earlier on in this thread said had glass on it that definitely wasn't Chalet! Confused? Yep totally LOL

Hi
Marcus thanks for your response - I sidestep the web link now (I take glasswizard's point) and Stephen's (glass dealer) opinion.
I trust you on this subject more than anyone; I know you are the top researcher in post war Czech glass – that has taken you into researching similar glass (process of elimination).
My item #2 Chribska – agreed and I love it – it was £5.00 and Stephen has many shapes, what presents for people!
Item #3 all I can say is the base is finished off exactly the same as #2 and in my very humble opinion if it's not Murano (looks like it's not Chalet - I am not calling anything Chalet now without a label or mark), it is Czech - the quality is there (but I am often wrong LOL)
Pip your photo is very informative, thanks - I think Marcus is saying the piece in your photo is most likely Czech made, but has an importers label (like G Hardy with Scandinavian glass), who knows it may be Sklo Union or Crystalex (just examples) - the importers label is actually quite fascinating.
Now to my first item, Teplicke Sklo, Mstisov sounds great to me but like Peter I feel confused as in my opinion it looks like a scaled down version of Della's vases. Now I know one has the Chalet mark link so are you still dubious about Della's Chalet attribution or my piece as a comparison, I have to say your Teplicke Sklo, Mstisov photo makes a stronger argument now I have had time to look it over.
Thanks everyone - I am taking this real slow and careful

Hi Pip, sorry if my message was not clear.
Wayne has a piece of glass, of Czech origin. It was imported by a British company, hence the label. I am very confident that Wayne's piece is NOT Chalet.
What Terry (glasswizard) was saying is that the site which has been quoted as the premier site for Chalet, allegedly has several erroneous attributions, and therefore, should be treated with care.
I can say from personal experience is that Wayne is knowledgeable, and takes the greatest care with attributions, and if documentary evidence is given, is amongst the most scrupulous of dealers in rectifying bad information.
Whilst his piece of glass only has an importers label saying it is Czechoslovakian, this is a familiar form from Chribska.
Regards,
Marcus

I need some clarification here. Are you saying Della's vases are marked , acid-etched whatever, as Chalet?
Jan Kilian has an unidentified bowl, executed in a similar manner on his site, which he dates as 1970's, but no maker. Is it just me with a Zemek catalogue, thus wanting to see a dream piece, or am I seriously deluded?
I cannot publish images here for breach of copyright reasons.
regards,
Marcus

Hi
I have had a look at the picture in the Zemek catalogue and it is a dead ringer for Della's vases and my own :shock:
Without a mark on my piece and with new evidence provided I will indeed attribute my little vase to Teplicke Sklo, Mstisov as you first said Marcus.
Thanks as ever
