Amber vase with cut oval lenses... Czech?
« on: October 24, 2010, 03:53:09 PM »
I bought this amber (almost orange) vase with cut oval lenses, thinking it could be Czech.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find proof.   :-\

The vase is 18cm tall and has an ever-so-slightly concave base.  The optical effect of the cut lenses against the uncut area is really lovely, but difficult to photograph.  I think the vase is 70s.

Thank you for looking.  :)

Looks good, bet it looks fantastic in direct sunlight. I do not think I have seen one before, if not Czech then possibly German.

John, you're right... it does look stunning in direct sunlight! 

Greg, I've searched the whole of Jindrich's site, including the glass review from the 60s to the 70s...  I couldn't find the piece anywhere.  It would be lovely if the vase were Czech, but on the other hand, German or any other country would be just fine with me too.  It's a good vase and I'll enjoy it, no matter what.  :)

I think it's very nice, I hope to pick one up too if I have a chance. I also think it's German or Czech. Though I haven't seen this particular model or colour from them, the Friedrich factory in Germany did some cut lenses models in the 60s-70s. Maybe the name helps as a possibly area of research (unless a real Friedrich connaisseur wants to set me straight...)

Thank you, Astrid... I've taken a look at Friedrich, as well as other German glassworks, but haven't been able to find my vase.  But I'll continue to search -- afterall, my piece does looks familiar, and I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.  But where?  :huh:

P.S.  Astrid, I love looking at your collection of glass.  You've got some really beautiful pieces!  :mrgreen:

Think it must be! Doesn't everyone deserve an 'Appreciation Day' once in a while?  Just let me know when it's my turn please!
