Topic: Moulded Czech Vase age and maker help please ? ID = Libochovice

[davem]

Hi , This heavy vase stands a fraction under 10" high and weighs approx 2.25kg

Signed  TCHECOSLOVAQUIE to base which shows wear.


The pattern is very deep and the lens parts of the design are concave . I've searched art deco Czech designs , shooting star , comet , all sorts to be honest and have had no joy. It's quite a distinctive design so I hope someone here maybe able to help .

Many many thanks in advance , Dave from Ireland.

It states "Research indicates that this piece maybe a Libochovice circa 1950's but no guarantees."

[Paul S.]

that attribution appears to be correct...............            the design would seem to be pattern No. 3032, on page 6, of the 'Libochovice catalogue 'Glassexport before 1958'.         Sizes offered were 175, 200 and 155 mm.
