Topic: Is this Czech

[singingyamada]

Is this Czech.  And is it called triangle, triangular, tricorn or arrowhead.
its Amythist , blue and clear glass
measures 22cm x 22cm. 
Any help most appreciated

just thought I would bump it up. I have been looking around on the net as I dont have any books, but I am having trouble.

Hard to tell with these pieces, especially when the photos are not too clear. Which photo has the more accurate colour?

I'd look more at Murano than Czech, if I had to plump for one. I think if it were Czech, Robert or Jindrich would have commented. (hint, hint)

these might be better. Showing from the top and the bottom.

Japan is of course another option based on where you are. Hot worked glass like this can be very difficult to ID.

I do not recognise this piece, sorry, the base finish would be unexpected from Chribska, as would the colours. As Lustrousstone says, attribution of these pieces can be tricksy,

I have looked at so many pics of glass my eyes are googly.  thanks and if anyone has any ideas of where to look I would appreciate it.  japan is an option, but we had such a post World war II immigrant population.

Can I just ask if the style is free form

[Lustrousstone]

I'm not sure what you mean by free form. If you mean is it unique, probably not. It will have been made by hand in a factory or a studio to a prescribed and designed shape, as are most hot worked commercial pieces. Each piece will be ever so slightly different to the others in the range, but only under very very close scrutiny. So if you mean did someone just think of a shape and then make it, no. It's unlikely a mould was used; glassworkers work very accurately by eye.

very interesting piece - looks like a mix of jellyfish and octopussy  - neither czech nor murano...  :huh:
