I spotted that, but thought this creaking pile of soft and hardware was the problem....sorry.
Regards,
Marcus

I wrote to Rikaro some months ago and they confirmed that their glass comes from Czech Republic.

I know know that at last two of the items shown in the Rikaro catalogue are definately by Chribska, from labeled examples. I suspect that much, if not all the rest shown there are too.

I have doubts about your vase being Chribska. It shows non of the hot worked wavy form which seems to be their trademark.

It could be another Czech company or even German. Yes the Germans have made sommerso style items too.

I agree with it not being Chribska - so you think it's might possibly be German :?  I'll look at some German manufacturers now and see what I can find.  Cheers.

I really like the way the glass designer/master combined colors in this
form.

Unfortunately, I have not seen this glass vase in Sweden, or other
Scandinavian glass countries.

One of the standards in Sweden is for the glass to be signed. Since this
work is not signed, I would rule out Swedish glass.

Thanks for looking at this Bill - much appreciated!  Well I'm able to rule out several makers/countries now - it's not Murano, from Sweden, probably not Scandi at all - possibly German or Czech - that's very helpful - thanks everyone for your input  :D
