Topic: Josef Švarc - collection of cut flowers vases

[dirk.]

Hi there,

if it´s true that three make a collection I´ve recently managed to make my Svarc flower cut vases
become one.
The thistle must be the best known one, but here two further ones - roses and clover. All three
are signed.

Enjoy!

Oooh Dirk, they are gorgeous!

I'll join the chorus of admiration (and envy). Gorgeous! I never even knew about the rose and clover patterns.

I didn´t know about those patterns either - until I found them... 
The rose pattern obviously also came on other items:
daweb
But I haven´t managed to find another clover yet. The auction thankfully only had a very
blurred picture and didn´t mention it was signed. Well, perhaps they just didn´t realise
it was a signature.

They are lovely, I've had a bit of a thing about the thistle design for a long time. One of the few pieces of cut glass I lust after, it is!
I was recently researching (googling  ) Podebrady and this thistle design came up a lot - did Svarc work for Podebrady?

Also, and this is my big question . Does anybody have any idea who made the pressed glass in a very similar design? The glass itself is very yellow, but I do have a large tray I use all the time in the kitchen that has this (or a very, very, very similar) thistle pattern on it. It must have been a "tribute" to the original cut Svarc design.
