Topic: Citrine lens dish Czech?

[chriscooper]

Pale yellow, 6" long, good quality glass with several cut/polished lens, flat polished base, am I right in thinking Czech?

Thought this would have been an easy one, just in case it slipped under the radar any thoughts before it makes it's way into the art glass category, honestly thought Czech myself.
Thanks Chris

Have you got any more pictures. It might be helpful to see it from above.

Czech (or perhaps German) would be my guess as well. The shape isn't familiar to me, though (that's not saying much ). The citrine colour was used by ZBS, but there are more candidates. Moser used it as well (but they usually signed their work), and I'm reminded of the case where I had a cut lens type of vase (though it turned out to be pressed instead of cut) in neodymium pink that was pronounced ZBS at first, until I found it in the Glassrevue as Jablonecke Sklarny (from 1968).

Ignore my above post I just noticed the other pictures. I don't recognise it.

Have no idea, but pretty. 
Only a guess (due to lens)     Novy Bor    ??  :huh: :huh:

Or Hessenglas perhaps? There´s an oval dish in purple cased clear on this site - measurements 15.6 x 8.8cm (scroll down):

On the way down the page there are some black and white pictures of some of their cut items as well.  :huh:

Thanks for the suggestion so far

I am more than surprised to find designs in the Hessenglas gallery, that I would have attributed to Pavel Hlava for Exbor without much doubt...
(Some other items look a lot like Josef Hospodka)

So did Hessenglas copy Czech designs?

Thanks for raising that question, Michael! I´ve been asking that myself,too.
Many workers came from the bohemian region after WWII. I wonder if they still
got connections to that region and brought some designs with them???
