Interesting Glass Slab - help wanted re maker
« on: June 03, 2011, 03:00:09 AM »
This glass slab "head" is a pick up from a local op-shop.  The Slab is as you can see not quite square - it is not my dud photography.  The slab is about 25 mms thick and the impression that forms the face would be approximately half the thickness.  I have looked very carefully and can not find a signature or mark of any sort - a surprise given the quality of the piece.

Anyone recognise the style and can give me a maker?

Mats Jonasson is making a lot of glass slabs with faces - though I don't find your piece in the present catalogue.

I have to say Wolf, that that was my thought when I first spotted it.  BUT (isn't there always one of those) the blue bit is an actual blob of glass and Mats colours the inside of the cast pieces I have seen, rather than using glass.  I have looked at it oh so carefully and I can't find any sort of mark - Mats seems to be very good at marking his pieces.

Hi Ross,

One of these in red is pictured in a Czech glass auction catalogue from 2010 and described as 'designer not identified'.

Nice piece.

Just bumped into this, sort of similar but obviously not a match:

If I had made that, I would have my name plastered all over it!

This has similarities....would the auctioneer be able to give you more inf?  You will have to scroll down but it will be obvious which one I mean.

John:  The piece you referenced in CGR (it appears to be by Jan Cerny, which makes sense) bridges the piece on here and the the piece in the Sypka catalogue. I think Jan Cerny is a decent bet here.
