Some New P/W Czech (Sklo) Buys
David555:
ZBS = Zelezny Brod Sko
Anne your weight is same as mine - 'Neodymium colours glass in delicate shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm grey'
Simple test - notice how in different light your weight changes colour from grey blue through to violet - sometimes known as 'rare earth'
Nice swap Anne - great to have the Sklo label

Zeleznobrodske Sklo.
The link has me reaching to peel the Glassexport and Chribska labels from my piece (I think not) :lol:
I believe the paper-weights were based on designs by Jelinek.
Regards,
Marcus

The bowl is 6" diam, 1" high - but I am sure I have seen smaller and larger ones

A shot in the dark here, but, any chance of this bowl being made by Sowerby, Davidsons or Jobling? It's just that when I placed my amber bowl next to an amber Sowerby bowl the colour matched exactly. This kind of blue colour on your bowl was used by both Jobling and Davidsons, not sure about Sowerby though.
I probably soud silly as the design does not remind me of any of these glass companies. :oops:
I noticed also that the glass was very good quality.

Both colors were used by a wide variety of companies.
I'm inclined to go with Ivo's Oiva Toikka attribution pro tem, otherwise iittala.

--- Quote ---Beautiful Sklo Union Paperweight in neodymium with bubbles perfectly balanced & as good as any piece of Caithness. 3.6” high and almost bullet shaped it has a yellow Sklo label.

To note and clarify:
As mentionned in other topics Marcus has noted that the Bohemia label was used on the products of factories NOT part of Sklo Union as well.
Neither ZBS nor Chribska were part of Sklo Union.
(PS don't feel bad ....I'm only one step ahead of you on this complex subject)

I'm talking light years behind, not steps :lol:
