Skrdlovice collectors thread, part II
langhaugh:
The bruise doesn't diminish my admiration, Anik. Michael and you are collecting at a furious pace right now. A lovely piece, and both collections are getting to be very good.

I've acquired a 6913 (at least I think it is...) by Rudolf Beranek, to accompany my 6915 that I already had in my collection (which I'll add to the thread as well, since we haven't had one in it yet I believe). The base colour of my 6915 bowl is light blue, the vase 6913 is clear.
The only thing that bothers me slightly is that the size of the 6913 vase should be 33 cm according to the patternbook, but mine is much smaller, around 20 cm high. Can't remember if that was ever discussed here...

Anik, lovely bowl!
I can live with bruises on my favourite pieces... (And I even overpaid for a slightly chipped piece just because I had to have it :) )
Astrid, that Beranek design is strangely attractive; I have never seen a piece from this range in reality...
I would think the PN could be 6914 / 21 (though I don't know why there is no picture to this number in the pattern book).
David, thanks for the kind words - but looking at your gallery I am convinced I will never catch up (but I will try ;D)
At the moment I am focussing a little on my German glass collection -- until the next piece of Skrdlovice comes my way.
BTW, is that stunning strapped Zertova vase a new purchase, or did it just escape my attention?

Michael,
You have a very sharp eye. No wonder you pick up those great pieces in flea markets. Yes, the Zertova is a recent acquisition.

My latest Skrdlovice acquistion, 29 cm high.
I have no doubt whatsoever it is Skrdlovice, and I was almost sure it was Frantisek Vizner, a variation on his 7117 pattern or some later number by his design, but when looking for it I noticed the Ladislav Oliva design 7702 (28 cm high) it looked like it could be a match. I'm not entirely sure though.
It would be ironic if it were by Oliva, since I've been trying to acquire something by him for months now, and when I bought it I was 95% sure I was buying Vizner :) Though, of course, the style would be quite influenced by Vizner.
Anyway, Sypka auctions seems to think this type of pattern is by Oliva: http://www.sypka.cz/vaza-model-c-7702-navrh-r-1977/a56/d12835/
