Who made this? I hope it's Czech...

Heya!
I bought this vase/bowl the other day. I thought it was a Beranek piece but when I got home and started gooling I realized it's not. It isn't "pulegoso" but the surface feels a bit coarse and it's iridescent (both the handles and the bowl itself. Judging from the bottom it is mould blown. The rim is cut and polished and the bowl is unsigned. Any ideas?
Best Regards
Emil

It had me fooled at first glance. Is it accidental that it's like Beranek, or would someone actually copy him? I know Skrdlovice/Beranek did some reproductions of pulegoso, but they were very authentic looking.
Do you mean pressed glass or glass blown into a mold? If pressed glass, how would they do the handles?
Sorry I can't help, but you definitely caught my interest.

Hi David!
Thanks for the input. It's definetly not pressed glass, the bowl is blown in a mould. I'm also sure it isn't pulegoso since pulegoso still have a smooth surface while this bowl feels like coarse sandpaper.
The bottom isn't polished or cut in any way.
Best Regards
Emil

isn't this surface treatment what might be known as corroso?
I think it looks early Bohemian to be honest. What size is it and can we see a photo of the base please?
thanks - and jealous :) it's really pretty.

I think you're right in that it looks like the surface treatment is a consequence of acid being applied in some form, which in Murano could be corroso or scavo.
Could we see a picture of the base, as I'm intrigued to see what the mould effect is like?
