Topic: Unusual Czech Vase With Optical 'Bridge' - Help ID Please...

[charliepedro]

Hi guys,

Can anyone help my ID the designer and glassworks responsible for this unusual vase with a blue through amber 'bridge' at the inner base please?
It weighs 1460 grams, stands 6.25'' tall, rim measures approx. 5 x 3.5'' and sits on a small oval polished base.

Thanks in advance, Charlene

Might be Mstisov or Chribska, I'm sure I've seen something similar on this board before.

Cheers Wayne,

I was thinking Mstisov because it looks very much like the rhapsody/romana range in style and colour but I've not seen one quite like this so far - thanks for your help, I hope someone can ID the designer for me at some point.

Regards, Charlene

Is this the thread maybe?

Not sure it is exactly the same but there is some interesting information in the thread.

Ah yes that's the one!  No not exactly the same, but maybe from the same range?

Excellent - thanks very much both for your help with this one! My vase is surely from this range and though not vintage, I think its a beautiful Zemek-Influenced piece nonetheless.

Thanks again, best wishes Charlene
